REAL STUFFED BELL PEPPERS (OR STUFFED CABBAGE)



Real Stuffed Bell Peppers (Or Stuffed Cabbage) image

Another of my grandmother's down home recipes. Has the sweet-sour taste of old Europe. True comfort food to be served with mashed potatoes dunked into the extra sauce and a crisp salad. May also be made in cabbage leaves for a stuffed cabbage recipe; cooking method is the same, but beef is rolled in each cabbage leaf.

STUFFED BELL PEPPERS WITH BEEF AND CABBAGE



Stuffed Bell Peppers with Beef and Cabbage image

I never liked stuffed bell peppers until I ditched the green ones and bought some red, yellow, and orange 3-packs instead. Replacing traditional rice with cabbage adds another veggie and gives a different texture. They take a bit of time but are well worth the effort.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon salted butter
2 pounds lean ground beef
½ medium head green cabbage, chopped
½ medium head red cabbage, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 (14.5 ounce) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 large red bell peppers
2 teaspoons olive oil, or as needed
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Oil the bottom and sides of two rectangular glass baking dishes.
  • Melt butter in a 4- to 6-quart stockpot over medium heat. Add ground beef, green and red cabbage, onion, celery, and garlic. Stir in diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, oregano, basil, and pepper. Cook until beef starts to brown and cabbage softens a bit, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir, and continue cooking for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the beef cooks, prepare bell peppers: remove stems and cut peppers in half from top to bottom. Remove seeds and white membrane. Rub outsides of the peppers with olive oil and arrange, skin-sides down like edible bowls, in the prepared baking dishes.
  • Strain beef mixture to remove excess liquid; scoop into peppers to fill and mound any extra on top or reserve for another use. Cover with foil.
  • Cook in the preheated oven until peppers have softened, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove foil, top with mozzarella and provolone, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for large, firm bell peppers with smooth skin. Avoid peppers with blemishes or bruises.
  • Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
  • Make sure the filling is well-seasoned: The filling should be flavorful and well-seasoned. Use a variety of herbs and spices to create a delicious and complex flavor.
  • Stuff the peppers tightly: Stuff the peppers tightly with the filling, but don't overstuff them. The peppers should be able to hold their shape without bursting.
  • Cook the peppers slowly: Cook the peppers slowly over low heat. This will allow the peppers to cook evenly and the filling to develop a rich flavor.

Conclusion:

Stuffed bell peppers and stuffed cabbage are classic comfort food recipes that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. These dishes are relatively easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that your family and friends will love.
