Notes

Don't have red bell pepper? You can substitute any color though red is the sweetest, most mellow pepper.
As written this recipe isn't spicy, but the barbecue sauce you pick will really play a big factor in how much heat it has. If you choose a spicy barbecue sauce, this recipe will have more heat.
While I suggest white rice, you can use any kind of rice you have on hand.
