Stuffed Green Peppers

Well, here I am!!! I said I was going to try to write more often and YAY I did it! Anyway, for the past 3+ years my boyfriend has told me about stuffed green peppers, and always saying I needed to try them. WELL, now I have! Last night, we got a recipe online since his dad couldn't find the recipe they had at their house, and after gathering all the ingredients, we not only made a delicious supper but we did it together...which is always fun! I really need to give credit to allrecipes.com and the "Stuffed Green Peppers I" recipe we got. It's delicious and I absolutely recommend it to anyone! I wish I would have taken a picture of the finished product but at the time I wasn't thinking about it.


Courtesy of www.allrecipes.com, I will share the recipe with you so you can save a step:

Ingredients

  • 6 green bell peppers
  • salt to taste
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup uncooked rice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed tomato soup
  • water as needed

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the tops off the peppers, and remove the seeds. Cook peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes; drain. Sprinkle salt inside each pepper, and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, saute beef and onions for 5 minutes, or until beef is browned. Drain off excess fat, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the tomatoes, rice, 1/2 cup water and Worcestershire sauce. Cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is tender. Remove from heat, and stir in the cheese.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (175 degrees C). Stuff each pepper with the beef and rice mixture, and place peppers open side up in a baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine tomato soup with just enough water to make the soup a gravy consistency. Pour over the peppers.
  4. Bake covered for 25 to 35 minutes, until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.

    The recipe makes 6 servings. 

I hope you all enjoy and if you find another recipe with a variation of ingredients, let me know!!! :D
