Dad's Stuffed Bell Peppers

Dad's Stuffed Bell Peppers - stuffed peppers recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice (if needed):

    If you are starting with raw rice, you'll need to cook it first. Cook the rice following the directions on the rice package.

  2. Steam the bell peppers:

    Cut the tops off of the bell peppers about 1/2 inch to 1 inch from the stem end and remove the seeds. (Save the extra bits of bell pepper for another dish such as Ground Turkey and Peppers.)

    Place a steaming rack in a large pot and add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan by an inch. Place the bell peppers on the rack, cut side up, and bring the water to a boil. Cover the pot and let the peppers steam for 5 to 10 minutes until they start to soften.

    Note that you can skip the steaming if you want, but this step will help ensure that the peppers cook through thoroughly when they are stuffed and baked.

    Steam the bell peppers:
  3. Sauté the onions and garlic:

    Heat 4 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook a minute more.

    Sauté the onions and garlic:
  4. Make the filling:

    Add meat, cooked rice, cooked onions, tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper to a large bowl. Mix everything together with your hands or a wooden spoon, just enough so that the ingredients are all well distributed. Do not over-mix.

  5. Stuff the peppers:

    Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil inside the peppers. Arrange the cut side of the peppers up in a baking dish, then stuff peppers with filling.

    Combine ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, and 1/4 cup of water in a small bowl, then spoon over filling.

  1. Cook the rice:

    If you haven't already made the rice, start cooking the rice.

  2. Steam the bell peppers:

    Cut the tops off of the bell peppers. Remove and discard (compost) the stem and seeds.

    Place the bell peppers cut side up on a steaming rack over an inch of water in a large covered pot. Bring to boil, and let steam for 10 minutes.

    (Note: you can skip this step if you want, but steaming the pepper shells first will make them more tender and easier to eat.)

    Steam the bell peppers:
  3. Mix the filling:

    In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, basil, summer savory, marjoram, salt, several turns of black pepper, and cooked rice.

  4. Fill the bell peppers:

    Remove the bell peppers from the steamer pan. Place cut side up in a Pyrex or other oven-proof casserole dish. Gently, stuff the peppers with the ground beef and rice mixture.

    Drizzle olive oil over the stuffed peppers, along the outside of the peppers, and into the pan. Rub the oil over the outside of the peppers; it will help with browning. Sprinkle the tops generously with paprika.

    Fill the bell peppers:
  5. Bake:

    Place on the middle rack of the oven and bake at 350°F for 35 to 50 minutes, or longer, until the meat is cooked through.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Bring water and rice to a boil in a covered saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer until rice is tender, about 20 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until evenly browned and crumbly, 7 to 9 minutes.

  4. Hollow out bell peppers by removing and discarding the tops, seeds, and membranes. Slice the bottoms of the peppers if necessary to make sure they stand up straight.

  5. Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward.

  6. Prepare filling by mixing cooked beef, cooked rice, 1/2 of the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon an equal amount of filling into each hollowed pepper.

  7. Mix remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until peppers are tender, about 1 hour.

  9. Serve hot and enjoy!
