Old Fashioned stuffed green peppers recipe made with a few ingredients. Inexpensive to make and pretty healthy too. Love this recipe for dinner and my kids do too.
Servings: 6
Equipment
- 1 pot to blanch
- 1 rice cooker
- 1 muffin tin or pan to fit peppers facing up snugly
Ingredients
- 6 large bell peppers any color, about 1 per person basically
- 1 cup white rice uncooked measurement, could use brown if desired
- 1/2 pound ground beef could opt for ground turkey
- 1 cup cheese mozzarella is what we use
- 1 tbsp onion could use fresh diced or dehydrated
- 1 can spaghetti sauce or 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 pinch Salt to taste
Instructions
- Blanch peppers (any color) in boiling water - wait until water is boiling, cut off tops and remove insides, submerge in boiling water for about 8 minutes or until they have just softened. Remove, set aside.
- Cook your rice while you're doing that and brown your ground beef. When rice and ground beef are cooked mix them together with your spaghetti sauce, salt, and cheese.
- Put blanced peppers in a muffin tin so they don't fall over and fill them with your rice mixture.
- Put in preheated oven at 350 degrees for maybe 15-20 minutes just to meld all the flavors together. Can add more cheese to the top of each one for last 5 minutes if desired too.
