Stuffed Green Bell Peppers

This is my recipe for Stuffed Peppers, that I hope you enjoy. This recipe is perfect for 2 or 3 people but you can always change the amounts to make more or less. At the bottom of the post you will find a summary of the recipe that you can copy and print.

First gather your ingredients:  4 Bell Peppers, 1 Cup Rice, 1 Lb Beef, Worcester Sauce, Can of Diced Tomatoes, Paprika, Taco Seasoning, Garlic Powder, 1 Onion, Shredded Cheese. Optional ingredients include:  Onion Powder and Tabasco Sauce. You should also preheat your oven to 400 Degrees.

Next you should prep your peppers. After you rinse them, cut off the tops and pull out the seeds. If there are some seeds that fall to the bottom just turn the pepper over and tap it on your cutting board, and they will fall out nice and easy. After you have done that you should cook your rice, brown your beef and saute the onions.

Once your ground beef has been browned and drained of fat, follow the directions on the back of your taco seasoning packet and simmer your meat, taco seasonings, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcester sauce and Tabasco.

Add the diced tomatoes and sauteed onions to the rice, and stir well. Once you have cooked your meat according to the taco seasonings packet and all of the excess water is cooked off, you can mix everything together to finish off your stuffing.

Now that your filling is complete, you can to stuff the bell peppers all the way to the top. I put the peppers in a pan lined with foil for easy cleanup, but that is optional.

Once your peppers are full, cover the top with shredded cheese. I had some leftover filling so I put it in a small baking dish and baked it with the peppers. It makes for a nice lunch the next day or even just some extra filling on the side. Bake the peppers for 30 minutes until the outsides look soft and sort of wrinkly, and your dinner is complete! Hope your enjoy.
