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.
