Stuffed peppers are filling, easy to make and I would go so far as to serve them to company. It’s just a good home-made meal that most of us like ~ a great comfort food, for sure. Green bell peppers are pretty, colorful to look at, and if you prefer red bell peppers for the color, use them. It’s a great thing ~ your whole meal in a stuffed pepper, veggies, carbs and protein! And eating them makes a super supper!

Ingredients

  • 6 large green bell peppers, tops cut away and seeds removed
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup finely chopped yellow onions
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell peppers
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups cooked long or medium-grain white rice
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • - water (or chicken broth)

How To Make old fashion stuffed green peppers

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 350 F In a large pot of boiling water, parboil the peppers until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and dry on paper towels.
  • Step 2
    In a large saute pan or skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and chopped bell peppers and cook stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes Add the beef, pork, garlic, parsley, salt, black pepper, and pepper flakes. Cook until the meat is browned, stirring with a heavy wooden spoon to break up the lumps, about 6 minutes. Add the rice and tomato sauce and stir well. Remove from heat and adjust the seasoning, to taste.
  • Step 3
    Pour enough water (or chicken broth) into a baking dish just to cover the bottom, about 1/8-inch deep. Stuff the bell peppers with the rice mixture and place in the baking dish. Bake until the peppers are very tender and the filling in heated through, approximately 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Enjoy
