Creole - Stuffed Bell Peppers I Made It

Creole - Stuffed Bell Peppers

Recipe by Betchie: Creole Stuffed Bell Peppers/saved
Stuffing is flavorful. Used 5 medium to large bells and green because of my pocketbook.
Three minutes is not long enough in the microwave to soften the bells. I would at least double the time. We want a pepper that is easily cuttable with a fork. These peppers seemed almost raw.
Two cups of cheddar is too much for this recipe when you are only putting one tablespoon cheese per pepper. That's 8 tablespoons which is a half cup which leaves a cup and a half extra cheese.
I'm putting these stuffed peppers back in the oven at 350 degrees F with a lid and a couple tablespoons of water to try and finish cooking the peppers for about a half hour or so.

They came out looking very nice, pso! There is some great color in the picture. Odd about the 2 cups of cheese though. Maybe she forgot the 1/ before the 2. :)

I can see that, along with the plural cups attached. Because 1 yellow onions is called out too.
BTW a half hour at 350F with a couple Tbsps water, lidded, made the peppers fork tender.
So the modification to this recipe should be a half cup cheddar, a half hour lidded baked at 350F, then uncovered and broiled until the cheese starts to color up.
Recipe also calls for yellow bells. It would lose a lot of contrast if green or red peppers were not used.

Those are good looking stuffed peppers. When I make them I usually have them in the oven for at least 30 min. I like them soft also when stuffed. Was your rating of it 3 due to the crispness of the pepper or just over all? I would like to try a different recipe other than the one I have always made

It was for the crispness of the pepper and the overly amount of cheese. Otherwise the stuffing had good flavor. I perceived the cup and a half too much cheese way to much of a wrong call-out than a simple writing mistake.
Forgot to mention that I put a pinch of salt in the onion and hamburger mix while sauteing.

I have never made stuffed bell peppers. Even though the whole family will eat bell peppers IN stuff they hate the idea of putting stuff in one lol! My mom used to to make them and the bells were always soft. I liked them that way, easy to cut into. Thanks for posting points!

The ones I have posted are Mediterranean based .... my directions are 40-60 minute, I think, in a 350 oven. Some peppers get softer, faster, and hopefully that also can adjust for how soft others want 'em.

This stuffing does look good.... might have to give this one a try with the new peppers, next season.

Thanks P7O!
