Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 red bell peppers - tops and seeds removed
3 eggs, beaten
3 cups meatless spaghetti sauce
1 ¼ cups instant rice
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
2 cups meatless spaghetti sauce
6 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook red bell peppers in the boiling water until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse peppers with cold water.
  • Stir eggs, 3 cups of spaghetti sauce, instant rice, onion, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper together in a bowl. Crumble ground beef into the mixture and stir until ground beef is thoroughly combined with sauce and rice mixture.
  • Stand peppers in a large baking dish and fill each pepper with beef mixture. Pour 2 cups spaghetti sauce over the peppers. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender, the filling is set, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the middle of a pepper reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 55 to 60 minutes. Uncover and top each pepper with 1 tablespoon Cheddar cheese.

I've been making these stuffed peppers for years and they are always a favorite. I like to use a combination of ground beef and sausage for the filling. They are also great for using up leftover rice.
