Stuffed Green Peppers Recipe

4 green Peppers 1 lb extra lean ground beef 2 cups brown rice 1/4 cup chopped onion 2 - 8 oz cans of hunts tomato sauce 1 tsp of minced garlic 1 1/4 tsp of salt 1/8 tsp pepper 1 egg Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cassarole dishes with pam cooking spray and set aside. Cut your peppers lengthwise in half. Remove the insides of the pepper and wash. Par boil the halves for 3 minutes. Set aside. Saute your 1/4 cup cup chopped onion with a bit of pam cooking spray or extra virgin olive oil so they aren't so crisp. Remove from the stove and set aside. Mix beef, rice (I use minute rice), egg, 4 oz of sauce (1/2 of an 8 oz can) salt and pepper together. Divide the mixture into 8 parts and stuff each pepper half and place each one upright into the cassarole dish. Pour the rest of the sauce, 1 1/2 cans over the rest of the peppers. Cover with foil and bake for 30-45 mins at 350 degrees. Enjoy!

This sounds so delicous! Too bad my family doesn't like peppers the way I do. What time is dinner at your house, Melissa? I'd be happy to bring some of PK's pumpkin protien pies for dessert. Molly

Sounds awesome!! Deal! Do they like stuffed cabbages?

Nope, they won't eat that either. I haven't had that since my grandma passed. Hers was so yummy too!

With my polish heritage I couldn't live without stuffed cabbages.. how do u do it? aww. come over for dinner sometime Molly!

You're so sweet, Melissa! Do you make borscht too? Grandma's family background was English and Welsh but she made a mean boscht also. I was really close to her and miss her so much...no surprise that I grew up with the food equals love mentality. She lived it and breathed it. (struggled with her weight all her life too)

yummy, sounds like a recipe for this weekend....I'll save it Thanks hun Erin

You are welcome.. hope u saw my oops.. only 1 cup of brown rice..

Woooops, I messed up.. ONE cup brown rice not TWO.. sorry!

I sure wish I had the time and dedication to to this. I reminds me of my childhood. I will print the recepie and maybe, maybe one day I will make it for the entire family eventhough my son will probably give me a hard time. Oh well, he needs to learn to eat good things. Beatriz
