stuffed green peppers


We made these a while ago, but they were simple enough that I could actually help make them (I'm not the best cook) and take pictures simultaneously.  Not to be confused with Chile rellenos which is a similar, but altogether different dish.  Maybe I'm was the only one with that confusion...?  I guess I couldn't rid myself of the association of green peppers and Mexican good.  This is an Italian style dish, but you could definitely tweak the recipe if you wanted it a lil hot n spicy.

Stuffed Green Peppers:
(full recipe can be found here)

-4 large bell peppers
-1 lb ground beef
-2 tbs. chopped onion
-1 cup cooked rice
-1 tsp. salt
-1 clove garlic, finely chopped
-1 can tomato sauce

1. Remove top of each bell pepper and its' innards.
2. Cook em for a bit to crisp them up. 350 degrees.
3. Brown beef, drain, and stir in garlic, rice, and 1 cup of the tomato sauce. Cook until hot.
4. Stuff peppers with beef and rice, stand them upright in an ungreased glass baking dish.
5. Bake for 10 minutes covered, then 15 minutes uncovered.  Add cheese as desired.
