Stuffed Green Peppers

green peppers

beef

onion

oregano

Worcestershire sauce

pepper

salt

garlic (I used the minced garlic that comes

basil

green chilis, drained

rice rice

tomato

Cheese peppers

In a large pot of boiling water, after you have removed the seeds and stems, boil the peppers for five minutes to soften them up.  Remove from water and drain on paper towels.

Brown the hamburger, onion, chopped pepper tops and drain if needed.  Add the oregano, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt, garlic, basil, green chilis, drained diced tomatoes and minute rice.  Simmer until rice is tender or about 5 minutes.

Fill your peppers with the hamburger mixture. (If you are using the tomato sauce pour it over the filled peppers. Some people like a lot of tomato taste and use the sauce)  Pour the drained tomato juice that you saved from the diced tomatoes into the bottom of your casserole dish.

Bake peppers in preheated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.  Remove and add shredded cheese to top of each pepper.  Return to oven for five more minutes until cheese melts.

These stuffed green peppers are tender bell peppers filled with ground beef, rice, tomatoes and cheese. An easy and hearty comfort food classic that always is a hit with both kids and adults.

long grain white rice (COOKED, do not use raw)

tomato sauce

can petite diced tomatoes (do not drain)

Italian seasoning

mozzarella cheese (divided use)

parsley (chopped)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Slice the tops off the peppers. Use a small knife to remove the seeds and ribs inside, then discard the seeds and ribs.

Arrange all the bell peppers cut side down in a 9&quot;x13&quot; baking dish. Pour 1 1/2 cups of water into the dish.

Cover the dish with foil, then bake for 30 minutes.

While the peppers are in the oven, make the filling. Warm the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Add the ground beef and season with the salt and black pepper.

Cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until meat the meat is finely crumbled and cooked through.

Add the onion to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Stir in the rice, tomato sauce, canned tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Add 3/4 cup of the cheese and stir to combine.

Take the dish of peppers from the oven and drain off the water. Carefully flip the peppers over and fill them with the rice mixture.

Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top of the peppers. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and starting to brown. The peppers should be tender at this point too.

Sprinkle with parsley. Let stand for 5 minutes, then serve and enjoy.

Very good!! I used a pound of ground beef and chopped up the green pepper tops and threw those in with the onions. Also, didn’t have mozzarella so used cheddar, perfectly divine served with a Caesar salad.

They were good I used Ground Turkey and Brown Rice so probably a different texture and added fresh Spinach so mine was a real Health KICK!!!

This was a really good recipe for using fresh green peppers from the garden. I used Italian sausage instead of hamburger and it worked very well. The recipe is certainly a keeper.
