My family especially enjoys this dish in the summer when fresh tomatoes and green peppers are readily available. This recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law, they always ask me to make it for them! Ingredients:
6 medium fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped |
1 medium onion, chopped |
3 celery ribs, diced |
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce |
1 cup water |
2 teaspoons salt, divided |
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided |
4 medium green peppers |
1 pound ground beef |
1 cup instant rice, cooked |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine tomatoes, onion, celery, tomato sauce, water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10-15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, cut tops off of green peppers and remove seeds; set aside. In a bowl, combine ground beef, rice, basil and remaining salt and pepper; mix well. Fill peppers with beef mixture. Carefully place peppers in tomato sauce. Spoon some sauce over tops of peppers.
3. Cover and simmer for 40-45 minutes or until beef is cooked and peppers are tender. Yield: 4 servings.
