This delicious sweet bell pepper rice is studded with chopped red peppers and cilantro. We love to eat this rice with my sweet lime chile enchiladas!

Christi ★ 5.0/5

Love this recipe. I love the given version but my spouse likes when I made it with less sugar.
Trying to make it again now, would brown rice work as well?

Susie ★ 5.0/5

That was surprisingly very very good! Makes a lot so would be great for a large gathering.

Laurie Mahoney ★ 5.0/5

This is so tasty. I made this tonight and my Guys loved it. The sweet pepper just makes the dish. This was so easy and you can do other things while the rice bakes. This will be made again and again.
