Number Of Ingredients 26

Quick Tomato Sauce:
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1
tablespoon fresh
1 can (15oz) low salt beef broth
3 oz tomato paste
1 can (28oz) crushed tomatoes
10-12 fresh basil leaves, chopped
Handful chopped fresh parsley
Stuffed Peppers
1 cup short grain rice(I have even
used leftover chinese rice from take
out)
6 medium bell peppers, red or green or
3 of each
1 1/2 pounds meatloaf mixture(ground
beef, veal and pork)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup quick tomato sauce
1/2 cup frozen peas to 1 cup
6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, dicedSalt and freshly ground pepper to
taste

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, saute garlic and crushed red pepper in olive oil for 1 to 2 minutes to begin sauce. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a bubble, reduce heat, and let simmer over low heat. Add rice to a small pot of 2 cups of boiling salted water. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Cut tops off peppers and scoop out seeds. Cut an X in the bottom of each pepper. Place peppers in large pot of boiling salted water, cover, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Remove peppers and drain upside down on paper towels. In a skillet over medium high heat, brown meat in olive oil. Add bell pepper and onion, cover, and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low. When rice is done, add to meat and stir in 1 cup of sauce, peas, mozzarella, and salt and pepper to taste. Remove filling from heat. Place the pot you emptied after cooking the peppers back on the stove over low heat. Cover the bottom of the pot with a layer of sauce. Stuff peppers with filling and place upright in sauce in pot. Top each pepper with a little extra sauce and cover to keep warm until ready to serve. I serve with mashed potatoes with sauce spooned over the potatoes.

The peppers were a bit too soft for my liking, but the filling was delicious.

These stuffed peppers were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more spices to the filling.

I followed the recipe exactly and the peppers turned out great! The only thing I would change next time is to use a different type of cheese.
