MOM'S BEST STUFFED GREEN BELL PEPPERS
Another Slovak favorite, this is one of my Mom's great recipes. Again, uses condensed tomato soup (see my Velveeta Mac and Cheese for another way tomato soup compliments a recipe). So good, it rivals Stouffer's frozen in the store. Compare them for yourself!

Steps:
- Slice tops horizontally off of 4 large or 5 medium-sized green peppers. Cut out the seeds and membrane from inside each pepper and rinse with water. Arrange in baking dish.
- Prepare 1 cup of rice per package instructions. When done, allow rice to cool slightly (the cooler the rice, the easier to handle).
- In mixing bowl, break up raw ground beef. Add garlic, onion, and seasoned salt. Crack 2 eggs into mixture. Add the cooled rice and mix all together using hands in a mixing bowl (as if you were making a meatloaf or burger patties).
- Once mixture is combined, fill each green pepper to the top (Note: If there is any mixture left over, you can shape into meatballs for a pasta dinner).
- In a small bowl, empty contents of tomato soup can. Add 3/4 cup of water. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar to cut the acidity of the tomato soup. Stir to combine, then pour over green peppers in baking dish.
- Place baking dish in oven, uncovered, for 70 to 90 minutes at 350 degrees. Check beef mixture in peppers near the end of cooking time to make sure beef is cooked thoroughly.
- Remove from oven. Spoon tomato mixture over top of green peppers and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Look for large, firm peppers with smooth skin. Avoid peppers with blemishes or bruises.
- 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 filling thoroughly: Make sure the filling is cooked through before stuffing the peppers. This will help prevent the peppers from becoming soggy.
- Stuff the peppers tightly: Pack the filling into the peppers tightly, but not so tightly that the peppers burst. This will help the peppers hold their shape during cooking.
- Bake the peppers at a high temperature: Bake the peppers at a high temperature (400°F or higher) for a short period of time. This will help the peppers cook evenly and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Serve the peppers immediately: Stuffed peppers are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help the peppers stay warm and juicy.
Conclusion:
Stuffed peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of fillings. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a stuffed pepper dish that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting meal to try, give stuffed peppers a try!
