Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 green bell peppers
salt to taste
1 pound ground beef
⅓ cup chopped onion
salt and pepper to taste
1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped

½ cup uncooked rice
½ cup water
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed tomato soup

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the tops off the peppers, and remove the seeds. Cook peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes; drain. Sprinkle salt inside each pepper, and set aside.

STUFFED GREEN PEPPERS

These are super classic and so simple to make. Use leftover rice or thawed frozen rice. For an easy variation, try shredded fontina or Gruyere cheese.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 medium green bell peppers, tops and seeds removed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt
1 pound ground beef
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
One 28-ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Add about 2 inches of water to a large pot fitted with a steamer insert, and bring to a high simmer. Arrange the peppers in the steamer, cover the pot and cook, rotating the peppers as needed, until they are very tender and pliable, about 25 minutes. Remove the peppers with a slotted spoon, and drain upside-down on paper towels.
  • Put the oil, onions and a pinch of salt in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the beef, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper, and cook, stirring and breaking the beef up, until browned and mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Let cool in the skillet for at least 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, add the rice, parsley, 1 cup of the mozzarella, breadcrumbs, eggs and Worcestershire and mix to combine.
  • Stand the peppers up in a 9-by-13 inch baking dish. If they fall over, cut away a little of the bottoms (without cutting through the pepper) to make a flat surface.
  • Generously fill and pack the peppers with the meat-rice mixture. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella. Add just enough water to the pan to cover the bottom to help steam the peppers. Loosely cover with foil, and bake until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil, and continue to bake for 10 minutes more.

STUFFED PEPPERS FOR TWO



Stuffed Peppers for Two image

My husband likes stuffed peppers, but my original recipe made too many servings. I cut it down to accommodate just the two of us. It helps to use a small casserole dish so the peppers won't tip over while they bake. For color, I serve steamed carrots to round out the meal perfectly. -Elaine Carpenter, Horseshoe Bay, Texas

STUFFED PEPPERS



Stuffed Peppers image

In this classic home cooking recipe from Jacques Pépin, green bell peppers are stuffed with a hearty combination of mushrooms, ground sausage, onion, zucchini and fresh bread crumbs, then baked for a little over an hour until the peppers are tender and the filling cooked through. They're not only easy to make, they are also endlessly adaptable. Don't have bread crumbs? Use orzo, rice, quinoa or practically any other cooked grain. Not a fan of zucchini? Add some diced tomato, eggplant or summer squash. Vegetarian? Leave out the sausage and toss in some cooked beans or grated cheese. Make it your own. Just remember to season and taste the filling as you go. If it tastes good outside of the pepper, it'll taste good inside, too.

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, weekday, sausages, vegetables, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large green bell peppers
1 pound Italian sausage, either mild or spicy
1/2 pound mushrooms, washed and chopped (about 3 1/2 cups)
8 ounces fresh bread crumbs (about 4 cups)
2 onions, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 2 cups)
1 zucchini (6 ounces), cut into 1/4-inch cubes (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut around the stem ends of the green peppers and remove a "hat" from each pepper with the stem in the center. Trim these hats at the base so they are about 1/2-inch thick and set them aside. Remove and discard seeds and trim the ribs of the peppers. Stand the peppers upright side by side in a gratin dish.
  • In a bowl combine the sausage, mushrooms, bread crumbs, onions, zucchini, salt and pepper and mix well. Stuff the peppers with this mixture and place the hats back on top.
  • Sprinkle the olive oil on top of the peppers and pour 1 cup of water around them. Place the peppers in the oven for 1 hour 15 minutes. Serve with the surrounding juice, salt and pepper.
