Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground beef
italian bread crumbs
1 small white onion
24 oz can basil tomatoes
1 large egg
3 large peppers (green, red or yellow, or use all 3!)
2 clove garlic, chopped not minced
salt and pepper to taste
worcestershire sauce (a few splashes)
sharp cheddar cheese cubed

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 Degrees.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl combine ground beef, 1/2 cup of the tomatoes and juice, chopped onion, egg, seasonings, and worcestershire sauce together. Start mixing in bread crumbs. I didn't measure this one, but if I had to guestimate, I'd say I used between 1-2 cups. Start small, and start mixing in until themeat mixture pulls together well.
  • 3. Core the peppers by cutting through the top of each pepper and removing the seeds and core. Slice each pepper into 3 rings, make sure they're fairly thick (tall) slices.
  • 4. Heat a tablespoon or so of olive oil in a deep OVEN PROOF skillet over medium-high heat. While oil is heating, start packing the meat mixture into your pepper rings. To do this, take a handful of meat mix, and tightly shape it around a single cube of cheddar, making sure to seal it in very well so the cheese doesn't leak out. Once the cheese is sealed in each meat "bundle", pack the bundles into your peppers TIGHTLY. You almost want to overpack them, as the ground beef will cook down a bit, and start pulling away from the peppers in the skillet.
  • 5. Carefully place the pepper patties into the skillet, turn your heat down to medium and cook approximately 5 minutes on each side. Once done, pour your remaining tomatoes and basil WITH juice over top of the pepper loaves and let it cook down for another 2-3 minutes with the grease. This is going to make an absolutely awesome sauce.
  • 6. Turn off your burner and carefully place the entire skillet into the oven for 20-25 minutes, just enough to cook down the sauce a little more, and heat everything through.
  • 7. Serve topped/garnished with the tomato basil sauce from the pan. Enjoy!!!

I love meatloaf and I love peppers, so this recipe was a no-brainer for me. The peppers were perfectly cooked and the meatloaf was moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

These peppers were a great way to use up leftover meatloaf. They were easy to make and very tasty.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The meatloaf was a little bland, and the peppers were a bit undercooked.

I would give this recipe a 4 out of 5 stars. The meatloaf was a little dry, but the peppers were delicious.

The meatloaf-stuffed peppers were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a more flavorful meatloaf.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatloaf-stuffed peppers turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more spice. Next time, I'll add a teaspoon of chili powder.
