Stuffed Green Peppers

>> Wednesday, November 30, 2011

Ry made this recipe one weeknight for supper. It was great!!! I have never had stuffed peppers before, but now I'm hooked for sure. One stuffed pepper each was just enough to fill us up and there were extra to warm up for yummy lunches the next day at work.



Ingredients

2 cups water
1 cup uncooked Brown rice
4 large green bell peppers, halved and seeded
1 pounds lean ground beef or turkey
1 onion, diced
2-3 cloves garlic
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with garlic and olive oil
2 cups finely shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place peppers in a 9x13 inch baking dish (lightly oiled.)

In a large saucepan over medium heat, brown the ground beef; drain. Return to heat and mix in onion, cooked rice, garlic, salt and pepper(if desired.) Pour in diced tomatoes and mix thoroughly. Let simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Spoon the meat mixture into each of the green peppers and cover with foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.

Remove Foil and bake for 10 more minutes.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top of each stuffed pepper.

Return to the oven and bake until cheese is lightly browned, about 5 to 10 minutes.

I made this a couple of nights ago for dinner. My wife and I absolutely loved it. We even had enough leftovers for two more meals for the both of us. I used regular diced tomatoes in mine. This made it a little bland so I would suggest buying the diced tomatoes with garlic and olive oil. I would suggest this to anyone looking for a tasty treat with leftovers for lunch the next day!
