The meat filling is very flavorful, with ketchup giving it sweetness and complexity. Instead of peppers, you can make porcupine meatballs or stuffed tomatoes.

Time 2h10m

Yield 12 stuffed pepper halves, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 green bell peppers, halved and seeded
3 lbs ground beef (not lean)
1/2 cup long grain white rice
1 medium onion, chopped finely
1 celery rib, chopped finely (with leaves, if any)
3 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt (or more, to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (or more)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or more)
1 cup ketchup
2 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Pour boiling water over rice and soak the rice for 30 minutes (or longer).
  • Mix all ingredients from beef to cayenne, plus 1/2 cup ketchup.
  • Stuff the pepper halves with the mixture.
  • Put the stuffed peppers into an oven-safe deep pan with a tight-fitting lid. Pour chicken broth, remaining 1/2 cup ketchup, and water over the peppers. You should attempt to cover as much of the peppers as possible, but if you cannot cover them completely, it is OK - the tops of the peppers will steam.
  • Cover and cook in the oven on 450 F until liquid boils. Then reduce heat to 325 F and cook 1.5 hours, or until the exposed rice on the top of the peppers is cooked. (You can also make it on the stove top, by first heating it till water boils and then reducing heat to medium, but you have to be careful not to burn the bottoms of the peppers.).

Trying hard to come up with new recipes for "Meatless Monday's" at our house. Well, to me barley is a grain that is meaty in texture & very filling too. Plus, I love barley and mushrooms together.

SASSY SAVORY STUFFED PEPPERS

When I am conjuring...I mean creating a recipe I am always thinking of other ways to use the recipe to make it new and fresh. I love the fact that one recipe can be tweaked into a completely new dish! I served these with blue corn tortilla chips.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups left over filling from { bonfire yum yum bites }
4 beautiful sweet peppers
1 - 1o ounce can ro*tel original
6 ounces chipotle white cheddar cheese { divided 4 ounces and 2 ounces }
1 - 12 ounce can ginger ale

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl mix the yum yum meat {recipe bonfire yum yum bites on JAP } with the Rotel.
  • 2. Add about 4 ounces of the shredded cheddar cheese to the meat and mix.
  • 3. Poke a few holes in the bottom of the peppers.
  • 4. Fill the bell peppers with the meat and put into a crock pot.
  • 5. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
  • 6. Pour ½ of the can of the ginger ale in the bottom.
  • 7. Bake on high until the peppers are soft. Baking time will vary because the filling is already cooked, we like the peppers not quite soft so I'll probably cook them for an hour or so. Cooking time will depend on how soft you like your peppers.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Bell peppers come in a variety of colors and sizes. For this recipe, it's best to use large, firm peppers with thick walls. This will help them hold their shape when they're stuffed.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: This will save you time and make the assembly process easier. You can cook the rice in a rice cooker, on the stovetop, or in the microwave.
  • Use a variety of fillings: The filling for stuffed peppers can be customized to your liking. Some popular options include ground beef, sausage, turkey, rice, beans, vegetables, and cheese.
  • Don't overstuff the peppers: If you overstuff the peppers, they will be difficult to close and they may burst open during cooking.
  • Bake the peppers until they are tender: The peppers should be tender when you insert a fork into them. This usually takes about 45 minutes in a 375°F oven.

Conclusion:

Savory stuffed peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of fillings to choose from, there's sure to be a combination that everyone will enjoy.
