Seasoned Stuffed Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Cut thin slice from stem end of each bell pepper to remove top of pepper. Remove seeds and membranes; rinse peppers. If necessary, cut thin slice from bottom of each pepper so they stand up straight. In 4-quart Dutch oven, add enough water to cover peppers. Heat to boiling; add peppers. Cook about 2 minutes; drain.
• In 10-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in rice, salt, garlic and 1 cup of the tomato sauce; cook until hot.
• Stuff peppers with beef mixture. Stand peppers upright in ungreased 8-inch square glass baking dish. Pour remaining tomato sauce over peppers.
• Cover tightly with foil. Bake 10 minutes. Uncover and bake about 15 minutes longer or until peppers are tender. Sprinkle with cheese.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In 2-quart saucepan, heat 6 cups water to boiling. Add bell pepper halves; boil 5 minutes or until slightly softened. Drain; set aside.
• Meanwhile, in 8-inch nonstick skillet, cook ground turkey and onion over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until turkey is no longer pink; drain. Stir in taco seasoning mix, kidney beans and tomato sauce. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• In ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish, arrange pepper halves. Spoon turkey mixture evenly into each.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until peppers are tender. Top individual servings with sour cream, cheese and tomato.

Steps:

• Cut off and discard the top fourth of the bell peppers.
• Remove the seeds and membrane.
• Place peppers upright in 1/3 to 1/2 inch salted water in heavy pot.
• Bring water to a boil and cover tightly, then lower flame and cook for exactly 5 minutes.
• Remove peppers, drain thoroughly and set aside while preparing the stuffing.
• In large heavy pot heat oil and saute the ground beef and onions until brown.
• Add garlic, thyme, salt, black pepper, basil and red pepper.
• Cook on low for 5 minutes.
• Add drained tomatoes and cook 2-3 minutes breaking up tomatoes.
• Add cooked rice and worcestershire, mixing well.
• Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and add cheeses.
• Stuff peppers and bake at 350 degrees, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes or until lightly brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 20 minutes. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef until evenly browned.
• Remove and discard the tops, seeds, and membranes of the bell peppers. Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward. (Slice the bottoms of the peppers if necessary so that they will stand upright.)
• In a bowl, mix the browned beef, cooked rice, 1 can tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each hollowed pepper. Mix the remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers.
• Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
