I've always put shrimp in my green peppers, it gives it a better tasting pepper. Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
1/3 cup finely chopped onion |
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, divided |
1/4 cup water |
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, divided |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 cup uncooked instant rice |
4 medium green peppers |
1 lb cooked shrimp |
Directions:
1. Crumble beef into a 1-1/2 quart microwave-safe bowl;add the onion.
2. Cover and microwave on high for 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 minutes or until meat is browned, then drain.
3. Stir in 1-1/2 cups tomato sauce,water,1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese,salt and pepper.
4. Cover and microwave on high for 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 minutes.
5. Stir in rice, cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
6. Remove tops and seeds from the peppers; cut in half lengthwise.
7. Each piece of shrimp should be cut into four and added to meat mixture.
8. Stuff peppers with meat mixture, place in a ungreased microwave-safe shallow 3-quart baking dish.
9. Spoon remaining tomato sauce over peppers;sprinkle with remaining cheese.
10. Cover and microwave on high for 10 to 12 minutes or until peppers are tender.
11. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
12. Can also use 13 inch x 9 inch x 2 inch baking dish.
13. I always make about 12 of them and then I cover each one of them with foil after they are cooled and put them in the freezer.
14. Whenever I want one, I just microwave them and they taste just as good as the day I made them.
