I put these together for a work potluck years ago and they requested them often. I now make it for my family and extended family. It is always popular.

Ingredients

  • 1 - marinara sauce (i use the one i submitted on this site)
  • 2 bottles prego sauce (if you don't make mine above)
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck, or ground beef, cooked and drained (if you don't make my recipe for marinara sauce)
  • 3 cups long grain white rice (cooked)
  • 2 cups mozzerella cheese
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese

How To Make stuffed peppers

  • Step 1
    Brown the meat, but don't overcook. Drain. mix together in a bowl with the rice, 2/3 of the parmesan cheese, 2/3 of the mozzerella cheese and the pasta or marinara sauce.
  • Step 2
    Core and clean the bell peppers. Rinse well, and pat dry. Cut a small amount of each pepper off on the bottom to allow them to stand upright without falling over. Place each pepper upright in a baking pan, sprayed with vegetable spray.
  • Step 3
    Fill each pepper with the rice mixture and sprinkle the rest of the mozzerella and parmesan cheese on top. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Great warmed up.
