One of my favorite meals when I was younger was a recipe my mother made called Quick Chili Rice Casserole. I put a Greek spin on it and stuffed it in a pepper. It works great paired with a garden salad and fresh bread. —Sacha Morgan, Woodstock, Georgia

The History of FetaFETA is a white, salty, semi-firm cheese. Traditionally it was made from sheep or goat's milk but is now also made with cow's milk. After feta is formed in a special mold, it's sliced into large pieces, salted and soaked in brine. Although feta cheese is mostly associated with Greek cooking, "feta" comes from the Italian word "fette", meaning slice of food.

It was very tasty! It might be nice to have a little more liquid next time. I will definitely make it again!

I used red peppers instead of green. Also had to add more liquid to cook orzo. It did take alittle longer for the orzo to become tender, but it tasted great!Maybe next time, add some Cumin for a more Middle-Eastern flavor. :)

Finding myself with a bowl of cut up yellow and orange peppers from a lunch time salad bar that I made, and not a lot of time to prep dinner, I tossed the cut up peppers in the skillet with the onion and beef and made a "deconstructed" version. It was delicious and simple and will become one of my go-to recipes when I have ground beef thawed and don't want the same old burgers or taco stuff! I like how the pasta cooks in the same skillet and made this a one dish meal!
