New Orleans Style Stuffed Peppers image

They say necessity is the mother of invention. I can go with that, since this recipe came about to appease my hubby's cravings for stuffed peppers and his deep, abiding love of red beans and rice. The man loves the red beans and rice, possible more than me. :) There are a lot of steps listed in the recipe, but it is really quick getting the peppers to the oven. Cooking time is for the longest range of bake time.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large green peppers
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 lb ground turkey
1 (6 1/2 ounce) package red beans and rice mix (I use Knorr's)
2 cups water
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Remove tops from green pepper and clean insides. Try to level bottoms of peppers if needed, so they will stand flat. Chop tops of peppers and set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In large skillet, brown ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper for about 5 minutes.
  • When turkey is almost done, add rice and beans mix, green pepper tops, and water. Cover, and cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • When rice is tender, turn off heat. Stir in tomato sauce, and taste the mixture for seasoning. You may need to add more garlic and/or pepper to suit your family's taste.
  • Spray an 8x13 glass pan with cooking spray. Carefully stuff peppers with turkey mixture. (It's hot!) and set peppers in greased pan. They will be slippy, but it makes for an easier clean up.
  • Bake peppers for 20-40 minutes, depending on how soft you like your peppers.
  • When peppers reach desired tenderness, top with shredded cheese. Remove peppers from oven when cheese reaches a nice, melty state.
  • Be careful. Remember, you greased the pan, so the peppers may slide.
  • Let rest 5 minutes, and enjoy!

I'm not a huge fan of stuffed peppers, but these were actually really good. The filling was flavorful and the peppers were cooked perfectly.

These stuffed peppers were a disappointment. The filling was dry and the peppers were overcooked.

I thought the peppers were a bit bland. I would have liked more seasoning in the filling.

These stuffed peppers were easy to make and very tasty. I used a combination of ground beef and pork, and added some chopped onion and garlic to the filling. I also used a jarred tomato sauce instead of making my own. The peppers were cooked perfectl

I followed the recipe exactly and the stuffed peppers turned out great! The only thing I would change next time is to add a little more spice. Overall, a great recipe that I will definitely make again.

These New Orleans-style stuffed peppers were a hit! The flavors were bold and delicious, and the peppers were perfectly cooked. I especially loved the addition of the shrimp and sausage, which gave the dish a nice depth of flavor.
