Time 1h35m

Yield s: 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 large bell peppers (any color)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon EVOO, plus more for drizzling
6 plum tomatoes or small vine-ripened tomatoes
4 cloves garlic
1 fresh red chile pepper
1 red or mild yellow onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup orzo
1 cup long-grain white rice
2 cups chicken stock
20 to 24 small meatballs, coarsely crumbled
1 1/2 to 2 cups shaved or grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Halve the bell peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with EVOO. Place the peppers cut-side down in a large casserole dish. Cut an X in the hull of each pepper and roast for 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, grate the tomatoes on the large holes of a box grater, discarding the skins. (You should have about 2 cups.) Grate the garlic, chile pepper and onion into the bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add a drizzle of EVOO and the thyme.
  • Heat the butter and 1 tablespoon EVOO in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the orzo and toast until golden and fragrant. Add half the tomato sauce and the rice and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the stock and bring to boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender, 17 to 18 minutes.
  • Combine the rice mixture, meatballs and 3/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano. Spoon the filling into the peppers and top with the remaining tomato sauce, the remaining cheese and a drizzle of EVOO. Bake until heated through and the tops are browned, about 45 minutes.

STUFFED PEPPERS STYLE MEATBALLS



Stuffed Peppers Style Meatballs image

Kind of an "inside-out" style of stuffed peppers. I came up with this recipe to use up the tomato juice I had left over after making stuffed peppers. If you want more flavor in your tomato juice, try dicing up some extra bell pepper and add to the tomato juice while the meatballs cook up.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Bell Pepper Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound ground beef
½ cup uncooked long grain white rice
1 cup water
6 green bell peppers
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 20 minutes. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef until evenly browned.
  • Remove and discard the tops, seeds, and membranes of the bell peppers. Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward. (Slice the bottoms of the peppers if necessary so that they will stand upright.)
  • In a bowl, mix the browned beef, cooked rice, 1 can tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each hollowed pepper. Mix the remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers.
  • Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until the peppers are tender.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Use bell peppers that are firm and have a deep color. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: This will save you time when you're assembling the meatballs.
  • Use a food processor to grind the meat: This will help to ensure that the meatballs are evenly mixed and have a consistent texture.
  • Add some bread crumbs to the meatball mixture: This will help to bind the meatballs together and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Season the meatballs well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to flavor the meatballs.
  • Stuff the peppers loosely: Don't overstuff the peppers, or the meatballs will be too dense.
  • Bake the meatballs in a covered baking dish: This will help to keep the meatballs moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce: These meatballs can be served with a variety of sauces, such as tomato sauce, marinara sauce, or Alfredo sauce.

Conclusion:

Stuffed peppers style meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. They can be made with a variety of different fillings, so you can customize them to your liking. The meatballs are baked in a covered baking dish, which helps to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out. Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce, and enjoy!
