This is our favorite stuffed green pepper recipe. We add cheese to the mixture and I always use whole grain brown rice. It takes longer to cook the rice, but worth it! Prep time includes time for cooking whole grain brown rice. Ingredients:
5 -6 medium green peppers |
3/4 cup whole grain brown rice, uncooked |
1 lb lean ground beef |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1/4 teaspoon dried basil |
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon beef bouillon |
1/8-1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/2-1 cup cheddar cheese (optional) |
Directions:
1. Remove tops and seeds from green peppers. In a large kettle with enough water to cover peppers, boil; then cook peppers 5 minutes. Remove and drain. Cook brown rice by package directions. In skillet, brown beef and onion; drain well. Add tomato sauce, basil, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and beef bouillon. Cook 5 minutes. Stir in rice and cheese if desired. Stuff peppers with mixture and top with cheese, if desired. Place upright in shallow baking dish or casserole. Bake at 375 F for 15-20 minutes.
