An old family recipe for classic comfort food passed down to me by my mom. Green peppers are stuffed with a mixture of ground beef and rice then smothered in a tangy tomato sauce. I always serve these with creamy mashed potatoes just like my Mom always did. Enjoy! Ingredients:
4 green bell peppers, tops and seeds removed |
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef |
1 cup cooked white rice |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
1/2 cup italian-style bread crumbs |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1/4 cup white vinegar |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
2. Cook the peppers in boiling water until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Remove peppers from boiling water and rinse with cold water; set peppers aside to drain.
4. Mix together ground beef, cooked white rice, lightly beaten egg, finely chopped onion, Italian-style bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese in a large bowl until evenly mixed.
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
6. Divide beef and rice mixture among peppers; stuff each pepper with beef and rice mixture.
7. Place peppers open side up in a 9x13-inch baking dish or shallow roasting pan.
8. Combine tomato sauce and white vinegar in a bowl.
9. Pour tomato mixture over stuffed peppers.
10. Top with 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.
11. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, basting the peppers two or three times while baking, about 80 minutes.
