Stuffed peppers have always been a family favorite in our house. You can use any color of pepper that is to your preference (Like I did). Some people like to par-boil the peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes before stuffing them but I like a little crunch to my peppers , so I have not done that process in my recipe. To this meatloaf mixture you can add sliced mushrooms also but my daughter doesn't like them so I left them out. You can cook these in the crockpot also on low for 8 hrs. These can also be prepped ahead of time and frozen in zip lock bags for a quick meal , just pop them frozen in the oven or slow cooker and let them cook.

How To Make stuffed green , red or yellow peppers

Step 1

Heat the oven to 375°

Step 2

Note : sometimes I will use a packaged rice instead of making my own.
Step 3

Wash and cut tops off of the peppers and remove the core with the seeds and the veins from the insides of the peppers.
Step 4

Place peppers cut side up into a casserole dish.
Step 5

Place the hamburger in a large bowl ; add all the seasonings , eggs , tomatoes (with the juice), rice and the Worcestershire sauce and mix until all is combined.
Step 6

Stuff each of the peppers with the hamburger mixture.
Step 7

Place the peppers in the 375° oven and bake uncovered for 1-1/2 hrs.
Step 8

Note : the last 10 minutes of cooking time you can add shredded cheese on the tops of each pepper (if desired) and return to the oven and melt the cheese.
Step 9

Note : Cut the extra pepper from the ends that you cut off of the tops and freeze for use in another dish...waste not ..want not!!
