Bolognese Stuffed Bell Peppers image

This Bolognese filling is spicy, meaty, and creamy. If you're in a hurry you can serve it over pasta instead of filling the peppers; just omit the rice or orzo.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup cooked rice
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
⅛ cup minced carrots
⅛ cup celery
6 bell peppers (any color) stems and seeds removed, cut in half lengthwise
½ pound ground beef
¼ pound pancetta or lightly smoked bacon, diced
1 ½ cups prepared marinara sauce
¼ cup red wine
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
⅓ cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the carrots and celery; cook and stir until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in ground beef and pancetta, and cook until browned and crumbled; drain off any excess liquid, and return to heat. Add marinara sauce, wine, and red pepper flakes, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in cream, half of the Parmesan cheese, and rice. Simmer 5 minutes more, or until most liquid has absorbed.
  • Place peppers in a shallow baking dish, and fill with beef mixture. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and top with remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Serve hot.

This recipe was a waste of time. The bell peppers were tough and the Bolognese sauce was bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone.

I made these stuffed bell peppers and they were a disaster. The Bolognese sauce was too watery and the bell peppers were mushy. I won't be making this recipe again.

I've made this recipe a few times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The bell peppers are a great vessel for the Bolognese sauce, and the cheese on top adds a nice touch. I usually add a little bit of spice to the sauce, but that's just my personal
