Inspired from Southern Food, these are quick prep and smell phenomenal while baking. It's a great way to use up the bounty of peppers from the summer garden. I increased the herbs, onion and garlic from the original recipe since it seemed to be lacking some flavor. This is a family favorite, which freezes well. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as we do!

  • Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
  • Cook the beef thoroughly: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until it is no longer pink. Drain the beef and set it aside.
  • Use a variety of fillings: In addition to ground beef, you can also use other fillings such as rice, beans, corn, cheese, and vegetables.
  • Season the filling to taste: Add your favorite herbs and spices to the filling to give it flavor. You can also add a bit of hot sauce or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Stuff the peppers tightly: Use a spoon or your hands to stuff the peppers tightly with the filling. Make sure that the peppers are filled to the top.
  • Bake the peppers until they are tender: Bake the peppers in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Ground beef stuffed peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious and satisfying meal that your family and friends will love.
