You're sure to enjoy this tasty twist on traditional stuffed peppers. Crisp-tender pepper cups hold a colorful filling that gets south-of-the-border flavor from salsa and cumin. They're fast to assemble using convenience items such as instant rice and frozen corn. -Angie Dierikx, State Center, Iowa

1 pound ground beef
2 cups salsa
1 cup frozen corn
1/4 cup water
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup uncooked instant rice
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Crumble beef into a 2-qt. microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 1-1/2 minutes; stir. Cook on high 30-60 minutes longer or until the meat is no longer pink; drain.
