Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 large bell peppers
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped onion
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
2 large cloves garlic, fnely minced
2 lbs lean ground beef
3 soft potato white bread
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce or 1 (8 ounce) can creole seasoned tomatoes
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Remove the stems and seeds from the bell peppers; set them aside. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add the onions, celery, parsley, and garlic. Add the ground beef and saute together until the beef is completely cooked and the vegetables are lightly browned. Add the bread crumbs and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Work the eggs into the stuffing. If more moisture is needed, add a little milk or broth to the stuffing mixture. Spoon the stuffing into the prepared bell peppers and place them in a shallow baking dish. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 30 minutes or until the bell peppers are tender. Spoon tomato sauce or tomatoes over each stuffed pepper and sprinkle with shredded cheese; bake 8 to 10 minutes longer.

Tips:

  • To easily remove the pepper's core and seeds, cut the pepper in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides with a spoon.
  • If you don't have any cooked rice on hand, you can use instant rice or minute rice.
  • Feel free to experiment with different ground meat options, such as turkey, chicken, or lamb.
  • Add some chopped vegetables to the filling, such as onions, carrots, celery, or zucchini.
  • For a cheesier dish, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of the peppers before baking.
  • Serve the stuffed peppers with your favorite sides, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
