SAVORY STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

The meat filling is very flavorful, with ketchup giving it sweetness and complexity. Instead of peppers, you can make porcupine meatballs or stuffed tomatoes.

Time 2h10m

Yield 12 stuffed pepper halves, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 green bell peppers, halved and seeded
3 lbs ground beef (not lean)
1/2 cup long grain white rice
1 medium onion, chopped finely
1 celery rib, chopped finely (with leaves, if any)
3 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt (or more, to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (or more)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or more)
1 cup ketchup
2 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Pour boiling water over rice and soak the rice for 30 minutes (or longer).
  • Mix all ingredients from beef to cayenne, plus 1/2 cup ketchup.
  • Stuff the pepper halves with the mixture.
  • Put the stuffed peppers into an oven-safe deep pan with a tight-fitting lid. Pour chicken broth, remaining 1/2 cup ketchup, and water over the peppers. You should attempt to cover as much of the peppers as possible, but if you cannot cover them completely, it is OK - the tops of the peppers will steam.
  • Cover and cook in the oven on 450 F until liquid boils. Then reduce heat to 325 F and cook 1.5 hours, or until the exposed rice on the top of the peppers is cooked. (You can also make it on the stove top, by first heating it till water boils and then reducing heat to medium, but you have to be careful not to burn the bottoms of the peppers.).

Trying hard to come up with new recipes for "Meatless Monday's" at our house. Well, to me barley is a grain that is meaty in texture & very filling too. Plus, I love barley and mushrooms together.

SASSY SAVORY STUFFED PEPPERS

When I am conjuring...I mean creating a recipe I am always thinking of other ways to use the recipe to make it new and fresh. I love the fact that one recipe can be tweaked into a completely new dish! I served these with blue corn tortilla chips.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups left over filling from { bonfire yum yum bites }
4 beautiful sweet peppers
1 - 1o ounce can ro*tel original
6 ounces chipotle white cheddar cheese { divided 4 ounces and 2 ounces }
1 - 12 ounce can ginger ale

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl mix the yum yum meat {recipe bonfire yum yum bites on JAP } with the Rotel.
  • 2. Add about 4 ounces of the shredded cheddar cheese to the meat and mix.
  • 3. Poke a few holes in the bottom of the peppers.
  • 4. Fill the bell peppers with the meat and put into a crock pot.
  • 5. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
  • 6. Pour ½ of the can of the ginger ale in the bottom.
  • 7. Bake on high until the peppers are soft. Baking time will vary because the filling is already cooked, we like the peppers not quite soft so I'll probably cook them for an hour or so. Cooking time will depend on how soft you like your peppers.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Bell peppers come in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. For stuffed peppers, choose bell peppers that are large enough to hold the filling, but not so large that they are difficult to eat. Look for peppers that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Prepare the peppers properly: Before stuffing the peppers, you need to prepare them properly. Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Be careful not to cut the peppers too deeply, or they will fall apart when you stuff them.
  • Use a variety of fillings: The possibilities for fillings are endless. You can use ground beef, turkey, chicken, or pork. You can also use vegetables, rice, beans, and cheese. Get creative and come up with your own unique filling.
  • Cook the peppers thoroughly: Stuffed peppers need to be cooked thoroughly before they are safe to eat. Bake them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-45 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through.
  • Serve the peppers with your favorite sauce: Stuffed peppers can be served with a variety of sauces. Tomato sauce, cheese sauce, and sour cream are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

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 effort, you can create a stuffed pepper dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
