STUFFED BELL PEPPERS HUNGARIAN STYLE, STOVE TOP AND SIMPLE



Stuffed Bell Peppers Hungarian Style, Stove Top and Simple image

This is a favorite of ours, originally printed from Cooks.com, which we've adjusted to our liking. We prefer to use more, smaller peppers, so you get more pepper to filling ratio. Serve with a good crusty bread. The original suggests a dollop of sour cream.

Categories     Pork

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 peppers, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup uncooked rice (prefer brown rice)
1 lb ground pork
1 lb ground beef
2 teaspoons paprika paprika (or 1 tsp. regular paprika and 1 tsp. half-sharp (hot)
3 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons butter
6 -8 bell peppers (possibly 10 if very small)
2 (46 ounce) cans tomato juice

Steps:

  • Parboil rice and mix with pork, beef, spices, salt and pepper. Choose well formed peppers. Cut off tops of peppers, wash and seed. Tops taken off in rings can be used as "bases" for any peppers that do not sit well in the pot. Stuff peppers tightly with meat mixture. Set peppers aside. Roll any left over meat into meat balls.
  • In a large heavy pot, a 4 quart or greater dutch oven works well, make a light roux by melting the butter and stirring in the flour. Stir and cook flour until lightly browned. Sir in tomato juice. Add peppers to pot making certain they are submerged or at least well doused with the sauce. (Add any meat balls to pot.).
  • Bring to a bubbling simmer and cook 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, to be sure peppers don't burn on the bottom. Serve with crusty bread and if you want, a dollop of sour cream. These are very good made a day ahead and they freeze very well. (We often find we have a great deal of sauce left over and if anyone can come up with a use for it, please let me know.).

1 lb hamburger

3 (10 3/4 ounce) cans condensed tomato soup, divided

  • Divide peppers lengthwise and remove seeds. Cook in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Remove from water and let cool.
  • Combine hamburger, bread crumbs, egg and a little less than a 1/2 can of tomato soup. (Don't use too much or the filling will be too loose) Add some chopped onion or onion powder to taste. (I use about 1/2 teaspoons onion powder).
