- Prep
- Over high heat, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Drop the peppers in the boiling water and allow them to cook for 5 minutes. Use tongs to remove the peppers. Salt the inside of each bell pepper with a ¼ teaspoon of salt, or to taste, then set them aside for later.
- Brown
- In a skillet over medium-high heat brown the ground beef with the chopped onions for 5-6 minutes. Drain off the excess fat and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer
- Next, add the canned tomatoes, rice, water, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine then cover and allow to simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is fully cooked. Remove from heat, then stir in the cheese.
- Stuff
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a spoon to scoop an equal amount of the ground beef and rice mixture into each bell pepper. Place the bell peppers on a baking dish with the open side up.
- Make sauce
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tomato soup with a small amount of water - Just enough to make it a gravy consistency. Pour the sauce over each of the peppers.
- bake
- Cover with foil and bake for 25-35 minutes. The peppers should be heated through and the cheese should be melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.

My husband and I first tasted this soup in a restaurant and loved it. I’m diabetic, so I came up with this healthier—but just as tasty—version! Serve it with crusty rolls and a green salad for a hearty meal. —KayLyn VanderVeen, Grand Rapids, Michigan

- Cook rice via package directions for your preferred method. I skipped my usual stove top rice method and made mine in my Instant Pot using the rice button. Either way works great!
- Next chop your veggies and peel and mince your garlic.
- In a dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat, heat up 2 tsp of oil and brown your onion. Cook until tender, approx. 5 minutes, adding garlic towards the end.
- Next add everything but the rice to the pot and stir. Bring heat to boil, then cover and reduce to simmer.
- Allow soup to simmer for 20-35 minutes, or until lentils are tender and creamy. Add rice and stir to mix.
- Taste the soup, then adjust thickness to taste, adding a little more broth or tomato sauce to thin the soup if you prefer. Taste again and re-season to taste. Easy peasy! The recipe above is how we make it since we love the soup thick like a stew/casserole.
- Spoon into bowls and garnish with all your favorite toppings (sour cream is my favorite - vegan or regular!) see notes for some tasty ideas. Leftovers are fantastic and even more flavorful than the first day and this soup can also be frozen for later! Woot!
- SLOW COOKER INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook rice via package instructions using preferred method (stove top, instant pot, rice cooker) and set aside for swirling into the soup at the end.
- Add all the remaining ingredients into your slow cooker and set to high for 4-5 hours or low for 7-8 hours, until dried lentils are cooked through and veggies are tender.
- Swirl in the cooked rice, add all your favorite toppings, and dive in!
