Stuffed Green Peppers

[Airehead ★]

What do you put in yours. Spent a bit of time reading a variety of styles. Probably will make them like my grandmother did.

nothing, because I don't make them.  But the times I've had them it's been ground pepper,rice tomato-y stuff, onions and unknown seasoning.  Plus cheese.

Seasonings vary but I mix my meat with rice instead of bread crumbs & use marinara.  But one trick I learned is I cut them in half and stuff the half peppers.  I also buy different color peppers so you can get one red, one green etc.

I haven’t made them in years.

We hardly ever have them because my wife is an aniti-pepite.

Judie made them on Friday. She used chicken tenderloins cubed instead of beef. I finished off the leftovers today.

I plan to do stuffed peppers and research it but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I stored these recipes after looking through a bunch.  They use green or red bell peppers stuffed mainly with rice, ground beef, and either salsa or tomato sauce

Here's one with red (you can use green) bell peppers, rice, ground beef, corn and more that uses salsa instead of tomato sauce.

At the bottom of the above recipe is a quick video for Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers.  There are similar, longer recipes with more details by searching on YouTube.  Here's one that has a small list of ingredients but looks great and I'll probably try first:

Here's one where tomato sauce and Worchestershire sauce (an amazing combination in a lot of dishes) are used. It also has a great section on storing stuffed peppers:

How to Store Stuffed Peppers

 

· Cooked stuffed peppers will keep in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 days. Simply heat the oven to 350 and put the peppers in a covered baking dish (in case anything spills out) and reheat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until heated through. You can add more cheese before doing so if you want.

· Stuffed peppers can also be frozen once they have cooled completely. Transfer them to a rimmed baking sheet and freeze until frozen. Then, wrap each pepper individually in foil, put them in a zip-close bag, and label. When it's time to eat, you can either let them thaw in the fridge first before reheating or put them frozen in a 350 F oven until they're completely heated through, about an hour.

Yet another variation is Stuffed Pepper Soup, which is basically the ingredients in Stuffed Peppers, including the peppers, chopped up and cooked in a broth.

This one - which I can't find on the web anymore - I like the looks of, especially the refried beans plus salsa.

Stuffed Bell Peppers - Green or Red

From Diana Rattray (Diana Rattray is featured on "Spruce Eats")

Your Guide to Southern U.S. Cuisine.

These stuffed peppers are made with Mexican ingredients.

INGREDIENTS:

    4 medium bell peppers (Use more than one color - red, green, yellow, and/or orange)

    1/2 pound lean ground beef

    1/3 cup finely chopped red onions

    1 can (16 ounces) fat free refried beans

    1 cup whole kernel corn, drained, thawed if frozen

    3/4 cup Rosarita green tomatillo salsa [I’ll use regular Chunky Salsa]

    1/2 cup cooked rice

    2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

    1 teaspoon garlic powder

    1/4 teaspoon chili powder

    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

    salt and pepper, to taste

PREPARATION:

Directions for stuffed peppers.

1. Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise, from top of stem to bottom; remove and discard seeds and membranes. Place pepper halves in a large pot of boiling water, boil for 3 minutes; invert peppers on paper toweling to drain.

2. In medium skillet, brown ground beef with onions. Add remaining ingredients; simmer until mixture is hot and bubbly. Place peppers in 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish; stuff peppers with beef and refried bean mixture. Cover dish with foil and bake at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes. Serve with additional tomatillo salsa or tomato salsa, if desired. Stuffed peppers serve 4.

Mine is Spanish rice, except the green pepper is on the outside instead of in the mix. Ground beef, rice, diced tomatoes, onions, garlic and spices.
