Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground turkey, bake uncovered in hot oven until meatballs reach minimum internal temperature, 22-25 minutes.

  1. 1

    Start the Peppers and Meatballs

    Spray both provided trays with cooking spray.

    In a mixing bowl, combine panko and 1 Tbsp. water. Let sit, 1 minute.

    After 1 minute, add ground beef, 1/2 tsp. salt, fiesta seasoning, and a pinch of pepper to bowl. Stir until thoroughly combined. Form mixture into 16 equally-sized meatballs.

    Evenly divide mixed peppers and meatballs between both trays. Cover trays with foil.

    Bake covered in hot oven, 10 minutes.

    Meatballs will finish cooking in a later step.

    Carefully remove from oven. Uncover trays and drain any excess liquid. Trays will be hot! Use caution.

  2. 2

    Finish the Peppers and Meatballs

    Drain and rinse beans in a colander/strainer.

    Evenly divide beans, tomato sauce, tomatoes, chipotle seasoning (use less if spice-averse), 1/2 tsp. salt, and vegetable base between both trays. Kids not a fan of extra heat? Feel free to skip/reduce the chipotle seasoning. Stir until combined. Trays will be hot! Use a utensil.

    Bake uncovered in hot oven until meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 13-15 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    While peppers and meatballs bake, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Heat Rice and Finish Meal

    Carefully massage rice in bag to break up any clumps and remove from packaging. Place rice in a microwave-safe bowl.

    Microwave uncovered until heated through, 3-4 minutes.

    Carefully remove from microwave. Rest, 2 minutes.

    Fluff rice with a fork.

    To serve, top rice with peppers and meatballs (to taste). Garnish with sour cream and tortilla strips. Bon appétit!
