How do I make stuffed green peppers? I saw someone doing it before, but I can't remember how to now.?

Question

I know there is different mixtures you can put in them, but does anyone know some of them and how to prepare them?

I know you cut the top off of the pepper and gut it, but I don't know how to cook them.

Wonderful so far. Is there anything else besides beef I can use, or is beef my best bet? Thanks again for the great recipes!

Answer 1

This is my recipe:


4 large bell peppers
1 lb. package of meatloaf mix
2 cups of white rice, cooked
1 medium onion, finely minced and sauted
salt, pepper and other seasonings to taste.
1 can of tomato sauce

Preheat the oven to 350º
Cut the peppers in half lengthwise, and remove the tops, membrane and seeds. Parboil them for 5 minutes.
Combine in a large bowl the sauted onion, meatloaf mix, seasoning, rice and a few tablespoons of the canned tomato sauce and mix well.

Spoon the mixture into the peppers, and place in an oven safe casserole dish. Top with more tomato sauce and bake for 40 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the peppers are soft.

EDIT:

A pepper is a strong flavor to overcome so beef is your best bet.
Though I'm sure ground chicken or turkey would be great too.

Answer 2

I am going to make this as I go, pure ad lib. That is how I do most everything.

4 Bell peppers
1/4 pound ground beef
1/4 pound ground sausage
Or whatever kind of neat you want, turkey, lamb or ever Spam
1 egg
1/2 cup cooked rice
1 small onion minced
1/2 cup small cubes French bread
1 clove garlic minced
salt and pepper to taste
a little oregano or thyme or both
1 can tomato sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut the top off the peppers and clean out.
Combine all the ingredients using ½ can of the tomato sauce. This is the fun part with all that stuff squishing through your fingers
Wash your hands.
Stuff the peppers.
Place in an oven safe casserole dish
Pour the remaining tomato sauce on the top
Bake until the peppers are tender, 40 minutes to an hour

Like I said at the start I made this up. It is based on what I remember my mom and my wife doing. I never cooked anything until my wife passed away. So far I have done pretty good.

STUFFED GREEN PEPPERS

6-8 large green peppers
1 lb ground beef
1/2 onion diced
1 bag shredded mozzarella
2 medium cans tomato sauce
2 cups rice

Wash green peppers, cut off top and scoop out insides carefully without poking through the pepper. Set aside.
Cook rice as usual. Brown the ground beef and onion in a skillet, drain off grease and add tomato sauce (leaving some to cover bottom of cooking dish).

Add cooked rice to meat mixture and stir together well. Place some mozzarella in bottom of green peppers and then spoon in meat mixture, packing down carefully until filled.

Sprinkle mozzarella on top.

Bake at 375°F in a covered roasting pan or baking dish with foil over top until green pepper is slightly soft. Olives may also be placed inside with meat mixture, if desired

Answer 4

I make my peppers with a meat loaf mixture. ground beef, bread/cracker crumbs, an egg, salt, pepper, chopped onion, and ketchup. You can add rice if you want. Stuff the pepper with meat mixture and cook for about an hour on about 350. Make sure that you clean the inside of the pepper out and I make a small hole in the bottom of the pepper to let the grease drain out.

Answer 7

If you don't mind red bell peppers...go to Trader Joe's and BUY their already prepared stuffed red bell peppers. The spicy ground turkey and rice stuffing rocks and the red ones are much sweeter.
