STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Food Network's Ree Drummond shares this easy recipe for healthy, satisfying stuffed bell peppers.

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 bell peppers, any color
4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
8 ounces lean ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 medium zucchini, finely diced
4 Roma tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
Red pepper flakes, as needed
1 cup cooked long-grain and wild rice
1 1/2 cups grated pepper Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cut the tops off the peppers. Remove and discard the stems, then finely chop the tops; set aside. Scoop out the seeds and as much of the membrane as you can. Place the peppers cut-side up in a baking dish just large enough to hold them upright.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, season with salt and pepper and cook, breaking up the lumps, until the meat is cooked through and just beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to get rid of the fat.
  • Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onions and chopped peppers and cook until beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and zucchini and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and a pinch or 2 of red pepper flakes. Cook until everything is heated through, then stir in the beef and rice. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese.
  • Fill the peppers with the rice mixture and top each with a sprinkle of the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Pour a small amount of water into the bottom of the baking dish and drizzle the peppers with a little olive oil. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the peppers are soft and the cheese is melted and lightly browned, another 15 to 20 minutes.

SLOW COOKER "INSIDE OUT" STUFFED PEPPERS



Slow Cooker

This is a recipe from my mother's Rival Crock Pot recipe book from the 70's. I had in mind to make a "quick stuffed pepper" recipe because the quick stuffed cabbage recipe was such a hit. I hate all the tedium of making meat balls and then stuffing something... but I LOVE the flavor of the green peppers, beef and rice in that...

Provided by Marcia McCance

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 c raw long grain rice (can use uncooked short grain, or whatever, but not instant rice)
1/2 c olive oil, or butter
1 can(s) 15 oz tomato sauce
1 1/2 c water (for the rice)
1 medium onion, chopped
3 or 4 large green bell peppers, cut in strips (for more green pepper flavor)
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 lb hamburger, or sausage, fried and drained
TIME SAVING ALTERNATIVE:
1 pkg 2 lb frozen meat balls (plain or italian flavor)

Steps:

  • 1. Saute the raw rice in the oil or butter until it is golden brown. Note: do not omit this step... I was in a rush to get going and skipped this step and the rice never cooked properly. You don't have to use all the butter or oil, in fact, half that amount (1/4 c) works just as well, but DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!
  • 2. Place in slow cooker with all remaining ingredients. Stir well.
  • 3. Cover and cook on Low for 4 to 6 hours or on High for 2 to 3 hours.
  • 4. NOTE: I cut the green pepper in long strips so it would not get lost in the recipe -- I like the "green pepper" emphasis, but you can make it however you like. I also doubled the meat to make it more like stuffed green peppers and less like Spanish rice. I think you could use 3 or even 4 green peppers, too, if you really want the stuffed pepper taste.

INSIDE-OUT STUFFED BELL PEPPERS



Inside-Out Stuffed Bell Peppers image

This is a really great and easy recipe. My kids love it; and of course they don't like veggies! I received this through a recipe swap from a woman named Jeannie Lofland. I add fresh garlic to the beef and sprinkle seasoning between layers. I also like to use different cheeses; cheddar can be so oily. Try putting a bit of cheese on top of the beef before adding the other ingredients.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 (16 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 large green pepper, diced into small pieces
1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • If the rice doesn't cook all the way; which sometimes happens, just cover with a bit more hot or boiling water and bake a little longer.
  • So the dish doesn't get washed out by the water; put some beef oxo cubes or just use beef broth to add more flavor.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for bell peppers that are firm, brightly colored, and have smooth skin. Avoid peppers that have blemishes or bruises.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: This will save you time and help the rice to cool before stuffing the peppers.
  • Season the rice well: Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the rice, such as garlic, onion, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Use a variety of fillings: In addition to rice, you can also stuff bell peppers with meat, seafood, vegetables, or cheese.
  • Don't overstuff the peppers: Leave some room for the peppers to expand as they cook.
  • Bake the peppers until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the peppers.

Conclusion:

Inside-out stuffed green bell peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little creativity, you can create a unique and flavorful dish that everyone will love.
