STUFFED PEPPERS FOR TWO



Stuffed Peppers for Two image

My husband likes stuffed peppers, but my original recipe made too many servings. I cut it down to accommodate just the two of us. It helps to use a small casserole dish so the peppers won't tip over while they bake. For color, I serve steamed carrots to round out the meal perfectly. -Elaine Carpenter, Horseshoe Bay, Texas

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 1/2 peppers, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 bell peppers
2 lbs ground beef (approximately 2- 2 1/2 lbs)
1/2 medium sweet onion (1/2 -1 onion is fine)
1 cup uncooked rice (I used white rice)
3 (10 3/4 ounce) cans campbell's tomato soup
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can water (from used soup can)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
garlic, to taste

Steps:

  • Cut and clean 3 bell peppers length wise from stem to butt. Remove seeds and stem and set aside.
  • Mix ground beef, onion, rice, and 1 can of tomato in large glass bowl. Season as desired with salt, pepper, garlic, etc --.
  • Pour 1 can of tomato soup into a deep baking pan and add 1 can of water. Mix together.
  • Fill each pepper 1/2 with ground beef until all the peppers are full and meat mixture is gone. Place each stuffed pepper into pan. Use 1 can of tomato soup to top each pepper.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 450 degrees for approximately 1 hour or until peppers are soft.
  • ****You can also add cheese or other toppings to the top of the peppers. In addition, if you don't have rice you can use Ritz crackers. Some people like to add an egg to the meat mixture to help the meat stick together. I like to serve these with a side or rice or mashed potatoes. They are even good with noodles. Quick, easy, and very yummy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Bell peppers are the most common type of pepper used for stuffing, but you can also use poblano, Anaheim, or jalapeño peppers. If you're using a spicy pepper, be sure to remove the seeds and ribs before stuffing.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: This will save you time when you're assembling the stuffed peppers. You can also use leftover rice.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Ground beef, turkey, or chicken are all popular choices for stuffed peppers. You can also add vegetables, such as onions, celery, and carrots. For a vegetarian option, you can use tofu or tempeh.
  • Season the filling well: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a bit of cheese to the filling.
  • Stuff the peppers tightly: This will help to prevent the peppers from falling apart when they're cooked.
  • Bake the stuffed peppers covered: This will help to keep the peppers moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Serve the stuffed peppers with your favorite sauce: A tomato sauce, a cheese sauce, or a simple salsa are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Stuffed peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of fillings. They're perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. With a little planning, you can create a stuffed pepper dish that everyone will love.
