Made some stuffed green peppers for dinner last night and my kids, including the finicky one, actually ate them! I scanned several recipes on the web and then improvised using the ingredients I had on hand.
Stuffed Green Peppers
1 lb. of ground beef
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 C. diced onion
2 C. brown rice, cooked
1/2 C. Parmesan cheese
4 or 5 green peppers
1 C. mozzarella cheese, grated
2 cans tomato sauce
Brown the ground beef with onion, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Add the cooked rice and Parmesan cheese. Slice peppers in half, remove the seeds, and place them in a greased baking pan. Stuff the meat mixture in them pushing it down with a spoon. Pour two cans of tomato sauce over them. Bake at 375* for 35 minutes. Cover them with mozzarella cheese and return to the oven for 15 minutes.
I used to boil my peppers prior to filling them. This was the first time I tried it without that step. I loved the fresh taste! Feel free to substitute sausage for the ground beef, add additional spices that suite your taste, or experiment with other cheeses as well.
