Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
2 cups water
1 onion, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups marinara sauce
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound lean ground beef
¼ pound hot Italian pork sausage, casing removed
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes
¼ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
4 large green bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set the cooked rice aside.
  • Cook onion and olive oil over medium heat until onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Transfer half of cooked onion to a large bowl and set aside.
  • Stir marinara sauce, beef broth, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper flakes into the skillet; cook and stir for 1 minute.
  • Pour sauce mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • Combine ground beef, Italian sausage, diced tomatoes, Italian parsley, garlic, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into bowl with reserved onions; mix well. Stir in cooked rice and Parmigiano Reggiano. Stuff green bell peppers with beef and sausage mixture.
  • Place stuffed green bell pepper halves in the baking dish over tomato sauce; sprinkle with remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano, cover baking dish with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
  • Remove aluminum foil and bake until the meat is no longer pink, the green peppers are tender and the cheese is browned on top, an addition 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Select ripe and firm bell peppers: Choose bell peppers that are brightly colored and have smooth, taut skin. Avoid peppers with blemishes or bruises.
  • Core and dice the peppers evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly in the soup.
  • Use a variety of ground meat: Feel free to mix and match different types of ground meat, such as beef, pork, and turkey, to create a flavorful filling.
  • Season the meat mixture generously: Don't be shy with the spices! A flavorful meat mixture will make the soup more delicious.
  • Use a good-quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good-quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're making a large batch of soup, cook it in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. This will help the peppers and meat cook evenly.
  • Simmer the soup until the vegetables are tender: This will take about 20-30 minutes. You can check the tenderness of the vegetables by inserting a fork into them. They should be soft, but not mushy.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for stuffed pepper soup include shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions.
