Cook and prep time do Not include time need to make the corn bread as I quite often make it either the night before. If in a time crunch you could always buy a pre-made 9x9 corn bread.

Categories     Veal

Time 6h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 bell peppers
1 lb ground veal or 1 lb lean ground beef
2 cups chunky salsa
1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese, grated
1 cup instant rice
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Cut a slice of about 1/2 inch on the top of bell peppers, remove seeds and empty them.
  • In a big skillet, cook ground veal at medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until brown. Remove grease from the skillet. Add salsa, 1 cup grated cheese and uncooked rice. Mix well. Stuff peppers with the mixture of ground veal.
  • Pour water in the crockpot. Add stuffed bell peppers by packing them well. Cover and cook at low setting 6 to 7 hours. When ready to serve, sprinkle the bell peppers with remaining cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bell peppers: Look for large, firm bell peppers with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid peppers with soft spots or blemishes.
  • Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
  • Cook the filling thoroughly: Make sure the filling is cooked through before stuffing the peppers. This will help prevent the peppers from becoming soggy.
  • Pack the filling tightly: Pack the filling tightly into the peppers, but don't overstuff them. This will help prevent the peppers from bursting.
  • Bake the peppers at a high temperature: Bake the peppers at a high temperature (375°F or higher) for a short amount of time. This will help to create a crispy crust on the peppers and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Serve the peppers immediately: Stuffed bell peppers are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to prevent the peppers from becoming soggy.
