Stuffed peppers are another dish that we usually say “Yes!”
to when the other offers it as a suggestion.
It’s a pretty fun idea that is a nice break from the norm.
Start with four larger green bell peppers. Slice the tops off them, remove the seeds, and
cut around the edges to remove the white parts. Arrange them in a casserole dish like four
little bowls. Then you’ll make the
filling. You could use all sorts of
filling for stuffed peppers. We like to
use meat & rice.
You will need 1 lb of ground beef or turkey, 1 cup of
instant (brown) rice, 1 can of tomato sauce, and salt & pepper to taste. Brown the meat first, and drain if necessary. Add the uncooked rice to the ground meat and
pour in the tomato sauce. Stir to
combine.
Ladle the mixture into your peppers and cover with aluminum
foil. Bake for 45 minutes at 350
degrees. Uncover and top each pepper
with shredded sharp cheese. Return them
to the oven until the cheese is brown and bubbly.
Serve these with a fork & knife so you can cut into the
peppers. This is a really filling dish
and you’re getting protein, vegetables, dairy, and grains.
