What I love most about these stuffed peppers is that the meat goes in uncooked, so it forms kind of a solid meatball in the pepper. I think these are much better than the stuffed peppers where the meat is cooked first and stays loose . If someone in your family does not like peppers, make some meatballs from the mixture and drop them in the pot along with the stuffed peppers. Enjoy! Ingredients:
4 -6 green peppers |
1 lb ground beef |
1 cup cooked white rice |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 egg |
2 small onions, chopped |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 (32 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed tomato soup |
Directions:
1. Cut the top section of the peppers off and discard.
2. Remove seeds and rinse the inside of peppers.
3. Parboil peppers until slightly tender.
4. Saute onions in butter until tender.
5. Combine ground beef, cooked rice, egg, salt, pepper and half of the sauteed onions.
6. Stuff each pepper with the ground beef mixture.
7. Place stuffed peppers in a stock pot or dutch oven.
8. Combine crushed tomatoes and tomato soup and pour on top of the peppers.
9. Sprinkle the remaining sauteed onions on top of peppers.
10. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat.
11. Stir GENTLY occasionally.
12. Simmer for about 45 minutes or until meat is no longer pink.
