In an effort to get out of the cooking rut I find myself in, I am making some new recipes this week. I'm going to post the ones that I've made, and rate them from 1-5...the first recipe is stuffed peppers...pretty basic, but I never make them. I'd give this recipe about a 4 out of 5. I changed it a little. I added all the sauce to the mixture of meat and rice. I then used a separate 8 oz can (so it technically takes 3 cans) with some italian seasoning to baste it with. I also sprinkled the tops with cheese. So here's the recipe!
Stuffed Peppers
1 pound ground beef
½ cup uncooked rice
1 cup water
6 green bell peppers
2 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
1 T Worcestershire sauce
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Preheat oven to 350. Place rice and water in 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 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 preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
