Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 350°F. If necessary, cut thin slice off bottom of each bell pepper so peppers stand upright.

Place filled peppers in ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish. Fill dish halfway with water. Spray 12-inch square piece of foil with cooking spray; cover dish tightly.
  • 3 Carefully place dish in oven. Bake at 350°F. for 30 minutes.
  • 4 Remove foil; bake an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until bell peppers are crisp-tender and filling is thoroughly heated. Cool 5 minutes. Carefully remove bell peppers from dish. Garnish each with sour cream.
