Pineapple rice stuffed peppers

This sweet pineapple rice is perfect when stuffed into jumbo bell peppers. Make it meatless or add in some leftover chopped chicken.

This is one tasty rice that gives you the best of both worlds. Savory and sweet. We used leftover brown rice but white rice or jasmine rice would be great options as well. This rice can be served in a bowl, but we love it served in a fresh bell pepper bowl. Fresh and delicious!
