We love the traditional stuffed bell pepper dish. In fact, I have a stuffed pepper recipe already posted.

The following is what I came up with and is not only delicious but effortless.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground beef

1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes (I prefer the brand that uses plum tomatoes)
2 large green bell peppers, corded, seeded and coarsely chopped (or 3 to 4 medium)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
garlic powder, to taste
dried Italian seasoning, to taste
cooked rice
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Add crushed tomatoes and green pepper.
  • Cover and simmer until peppers are tender crisp (approx. 20 minutes).
  • Serve over cooked rice.
  • Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for large, firm green bell peppers with smooth skin. Avoid peppers with blemishes or bruises.
  • Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers well and pat them dry.
  • Use a variety of fillings: You can use any type of filling you like for your unstuffed green bell peppers. Some popular options include rice, ground beef, sausage, vegetables, and cheese.
  • Season the filling well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of herbs and spices to flavor your filling. This will help to create a delicious and flavorful dish.
  • Cook the peppers until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of filling you are using. However, as a general rule of thumb, cook the peppers until they are tender and the filling is cooked through.
