Stuffed Bell Peppers Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1. Cook the rice in your usual way but add the bay leaf. Don’t overcook.
  • 2. Cut tops off of the bell peppers; remove seeds and membranes. Chop edible part of tops and set aside.
  • 3. Rinse the peppers and place on a steaming rack in a large pot and steam for 10minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • 4. Heat 1 tsp. of olive oil in a large skillet and sauté beef, mashing with your spoon, until just cooked through. Set aside.
  • 5. Heat the remaining olive oil and butter in the skillet. Sauté the chopped bell pepper (from tops), chopped onion, and chopped celery for about 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Add a splash of red wine when you put in the veggies.
  • 6. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, crushed garlic, oregano, basil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. of pepper, stir well. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • 7. In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg with the remaining 1 tsp. of salt, 1/4 tsp. of pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Gently stir to blend; add cooked ground beef, cooked rice (minus bay leaf), and 1 cup of the tomato sauce mixture. Mix well.
  • 8. Heat the oven to 350 F. (175 C).
  • 9. Stuff the peppers loosely with the meat mixture, place in a baking dish or pan and pour remaining tomato mixture over them.
  • 10. Top with a wee bit of Parmesan cheese.
  • 11. Bake the peppers for about 30 minutes, or until the meat mixture is thoroughly cooked.
