How do I make stuffed bell peppers?

Question

Should I cook what I want to put inside first? I'm putting rice, tomatoes, onions, and zuccini. Any other suggestions?

Answer 1

Cut and hollow out the bell peppers, bring a pot of water to boil, once it has boiled, place bell peppers in and let them boil just to the consistency you want them, the softer they get the lighter color they will turn. While you are doing that, fry up some ground beef and put seasonings as you wish, when that is cooked, place some spaghetti sauce in the meat and mix it up. Boil your rice, you can use the same water the bell peppers were boiling in to do this, it will give it a bit of flavor and save you from washing an extra pot. Place bell peppers in a baking pan, stuff with the cooked rice and meat mix, place some shredded mozzerella on top of the peppers when they are stuffed then place in the oven for 375 degrees at about 30 minutes and voila!!! :)

Cook the rice first def.

Definitely cook the filling first.

I would add some ground pork for protein.

Cut the bell in half, from the top to bottom.

Remove the seeds and pith (the white).

Fill

Bake

Answer 6

You cook it all in the oven at about 350. I would also add some garlic or something. You need more spice in there otherwise it will be kinda bland.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Mix corned beef with the rice.
