We had some Stuffed Pepper Casserole triple digit weather in June already, wonder what 1 lb. ground beef we will see this month. In Texas we have lots of 1/2 C. chopped onions very hot days, some of them very humid and when 1 14 oz. can stewed tomatoes, cut up supper time rolls around, the last thing you want to 1 large green pepper, chopped do is spend a lot of time in the kitchen. So I have 1/2 C. quick cooking rice a recipe for you today that is quick, satisfying and 1/4 C. water tastes great. 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce Even if you were never served them at home, I am 112 tsp. salt sure you are all familiar with stuffed peppers. Loads 1/4 tsp. pepper of cafeterias have them on the menu. If you happen 1 C. shredded Cheddar cheese to be the cook who is asked to make stuffed Brown ground beef and onion; drain. Transfer to peppers they can be a pain to make. Plus, a lot of 2-quart casserole dish. Add all other ingredients the time after the' filling has been eaten, the biggest and mix. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour part of the pepper gets thrown in the trash. Not or until rice is tender. Uncover and sprinkle with only is that a waste, but sometimes bell peppers cheese. Retum to oven until cheese melts, about are quite expensive. 5 minutes. So you are now going to make stuffed peppers. Add some hot French bread, maybe a beer and Remember how you cut the stem end off a green enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. If you do have any left, which I bell pepper, clean out the seeds and ribs, put the cleaned out peppers in boiling water for a few doubt you will, it is even better the next day or just minutes, take them out and let them slightly cool? freeze it for later. Then fill them with a hamburger and rice mixture Easy peasy. Yes? Of course. I would not lead you and put them in the oven to bake? Wow! Makes astray. Let me give you a couple of hints you may you wonder if the whole thing is worth it. wish to use. Believe it or not, my daughter-in-law liked to make Hints: them, until I gave her this recipe (now I think she has been converted). If you like the flavors included 1. I use 80/20 ground beef (that is 80% lean and in the stuffed pepper but hate the process, I can 20% fat) help. This dish has all the flavors and not nearly the 2. Chop your onions small but not to the minced work. It is a stuffed pepper casserole oddly enough stage. -+ called ... 1WIT July 20, 2012 3. Likewise chop the pepper medium: you do not want large hunks, nor do you want it to cook into mush. About a quarter inch chop is good. 4. If you don't have stewed tomatoes just use a can of diced tomatoes, better yet if you like a little spice use Rotel tomatoes. 5. Recipe calls for 1 cup Cheddar cheese I use more, it's up to you. If you don't like cheese at all (I can't imagine that) just put a few crushed tortilla chips on top. 6. I have not had any trouble but if you find your dish is getting a little dry and the rice is not cooking well just add a little tomato juice or chicken stock. This might happen if you use the extra lean ground beef. This is not an expensive dish to make, it is easy, 7. Yes I know, Y2 cup of rice does not sound like a it tastes good and you have one pot to clean up. lot, but it works. What more can you ask? Well before you think of something, let me just say work smart, play hard 8. This feeds 3 to 4 people. If you have more and take time out for a cookie. people to feed or simply want to freeze some for another day, the recipe is easily doubled. And when you do think of something you would like Blue Jean Granny to make, she can be reached at 9. If you use a pan or skillet that can be used in the [email protected]. oven when you cook the beef and onion you have a one dish meal.
