BAKED STUFFED BELL PEPPERS



Baked Stuffed Bell Peppers image

There are so many recipes for Baked Stuffed Peppers - each a little different, each bringing something a little different to the dinner table. This is the recipe I learned from my mother. A meal in itself I generally serve 1 stuffed pepper "half" per person along with freshly baked French bread and a tossed salad, for those with healthier appetites you can of course serve 2 "halves" per person. I like to use red and or yellow peppers over the green - I find the red/yellow peppers to be a bit sweeter. These can also be made ahead and frozen for OAMC - when ready to use simply thaw overnight in the fridge and bake as directed.

Time 2h15m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 red peppers, halved, seeds & membranes removed
1 lb ground beef
1 cup cooked rice
1 pepper, minced (any color)
1 onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon Italian spices
1 egg, beaten
1/8 cup Italian breadcrumbs
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
plain spaghetti sauce (jarred or homemade)
sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl combine ground beef, cooked rice, minced pepper, minced onion, minced garlic, Italian seasonings, beaten egg, breadcrumbs and salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
  • Use your hands to mix ingredients well.
  • Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup - measure out a 1/2 cup meat mixture for each halved pepper and fill.
  • *At this point, if you are using this recipe for OAMC you can wrap your peppers in saranwrap, then place them in a zip-lock bag and store them in the freezer for later use.*.
  • Place peppers in a baking dish and cover with your favorite jarred or homemade spaghetti sauce (about 1 cup per pepper half).
  • Cover and allow to cook 90 minutes (Please note that I have only ever made 4 halves at one time - so the cooking time could be longer if making 6 or more at the same time.).
  • After 90 minutes, check to see how far along the peppers are cooked; if they are nearly done uncover and baste with some of the spaghetti sauce from the baking dish (as mentioned above, if baking many peppers all at one time there is the possibility that they will not be as far along at this point - please continue to bake covered an additional 30 to 45 minutes and then proceed with the following instructions.).
  • Bake an additional 20 minutes then top each pepper half with shredded cheese and continue baking another 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve along side freshly baked bread and a salad, enjoy!

Provided by dicentra

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h15m

Yield 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup spinach, washed and torn
1 teaspoon mild curry powder
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
8 tablespoons canned chopped tomatoes, including juice
2 tablespoons tomato puree
2 ounces breadcrumbs
1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and roughly hand-chopped (garbanzo beans)
4 tablespoons chopped roasted sweet bell peppers (optional)
3 medium bell peppers, halved and hollowed out for stuffing

Steps:

  • Heat a wide heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil and heat for 10 seconds or so, then add the onion and fry, stirring occasionally, until well-softened.
  • Tip in the spinach, sprinkle over the curry powder, raise the heat and stir, toss and fry until the liquid has mostly cooked out of the spinach and it is collapsed but still moist. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add the garlic, tomatoes, vegetable or tomato puree, breadcrumbs, chickpeas and peppers.
  • Season with salt and black pepper and mix well; it should be reasonably moist but not dripping. Stuff the filling firmly into the pepper halves, mounding up on top.
  • Bake in a low-sided dish at 400F for about an hour, turning the dish around once and lowering the heat towards the end if the peppers are getting too browned. This length of time makes the peppers deliciously soft - if you like them firmer, reduce the time.

STUFFED/BAKED BELL PEPPERS WITH CHICKPEA MASH, EGGS AND HARISSA RECIPE



Stuffed/Baked Bell Peppers with Chickpea Mash, Eggs and Harissa Recipe image

Provided by dtrumble

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 item(s) uncooked bell pepper(s), assorted colors
2 spray(s) cooking spray
1 medium uncooked onion(s), diced
3 ⁄4 tsp table salt, or to taste (divided)
1 ⁄2 tsp black pepper, or to taste (divided)
1 ⁄2 tsp ground turmeric
1 ⁄2 tsp garlic powder
1 ⁄4 tsp ground cumin
1 ⁄4 tsp ground cinnamon
3 cup(s) fresh baby spinach, chopped
3 ⁄4 cup(s) canned drained chickpeas, rinsed, drained, mashed slightly with a fork
6 large egg(s)
6 tsp chives, or cilantro, minced
6 Tbsp harissa paste, mild or hot

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (or coat pan with cooking spray). 2. Slice a lengthwise piece off each pepper so stem and bottom remain intact; reserve cut pieces of pepper. Carefully scoop out membrane and seeds from peppers (use a melon baller if you have one) and set on prepared pan, cut-side up. Loosely cover peppers with aluminum foil; bake 15 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, dice reserved pepper pieces. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; warm over medium-low heat. Add diced pepper, onion, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper to skillet; saute until tender, 5-10 minutes. Add turmeric, garlic powder, cumin and cinnamon; toss to combine and heat for 30 seconds. Add spinach and chickpeas; toss to combine and remove from heat. 4. Remove peppers from oven. Reduce heat to 375°F. Divide chickpea mixture evenly among peppers; crack an egg onto each pepper, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Bake, uncovered, until egg whites set completely, about 20 minutes. Serve sprinkled with chives (or cilantro); spoon harissa over top. 5. Serving size: 1 stuffed pepper

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and firm bell peppers. Look for peppers that are brightly colored and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Cut the peppers evenly. Use a sharp knife to cut the tops off the peppers and remove the cores. Be careful not to cut too deeply into the peppers, as this will make them more difficult to stuff.
  • Roast the peppers before stuffing them. Roasting the peppers will help to soften them and make them more flavorful. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Roast the peppers at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender.
  • Make sure the chickpea mash is well-seasoned. The chickpea mash is the main filling for the peppers, so it's important to make sure it's flavorful. Season the chickpea mash with salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika. You can also add other spices, such as coriander or cayenne pepper, to taste.
  • Stuff the peppers tightly. Once the chickpea mash is seasoned, spoon it into the roasted peppers. Pack the chickpea mash tightly into the peppers, so that there is no air pockets.
  • Bake the peppers until they are hot and bubbly. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and bake them at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are hot and bubbly.
  • Top the peppers with eggs and harissa. Crack an egg into each pepper and sprinkle harissa on top. Bake the peppers for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.

Conclusion:

Stuffed bell peppers with chickpea mash, eggs, and harissa is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The peppers are roasted until tender, the chickpea mash is well-seasoned, and the eggs and harissa add a touch of richness and flavor. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover chickpeas and roasted peppers. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy bell peppers, give this recipe a try.
