Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Peppers make a delicious vegetarian meal. Colorful bell peppers are sliced in half and stuffed with a cheesy broccoli and rice filling.

 
As vegetables go, is there anything better than broccoli with lots of cheese" I think not. It is a fabulous combination.
Stuffed peppers are great for adding in extra veggies to a meal. You can use any color you like: grren, red, yellow, or orange. Or use a mixture of colors. Place them all on a serving platter together and you have a rainbow on a plate!

 
The rice gets cooked in vegetable broth, garlic powder, and paprika for extra flavor. If you’re not concerned about making it vegetarian, you can use chicken broth.
I like to add 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes to this dish to make it a little spicy. If you don’t want it spicy, cut the amount back to 1/4 teaspoon and it will have just a little kick. In addition to lots of cheddar cheese, a little cream cheese is added to make the filling creamy and rich. So good!
