Yield Makes 30 pepper boats, serving about 10.

Number Of Ingredients 7

15 assorted "fingerling" peppers
1/2 lb. deli turkey, smoked if
desired, cut medium thick
1 8 oz. piece brie cheese,
chilled for easier slicing
1 jar capers (90 or more
pieces)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Halve peppers lengthwise, carefully removing as little as possible of the stem ends, seeds and veins. Rinse and dry. 2. Cut turkey in rectangles about 1-inch by 2-inches. Cut brie in 2-inch lengths, about l/4 inch thick, to make 30. 3. Place one slice turkey and one chunk brie in each pepper. Top with 3 or more capers and place in two large, lightly oiled pie pans, so peppers support each other. 4. Bake until cheese melts, about 10 minutes. Serve hot.

I like the taste of this stuffing mixture better than the uncooked ground meat versions. I don't want a meatloaf tasting stuffing. My husband loved it.

Cut off tops of peppers, chop to make 1/2 cup, and reserve. Clean seeds and membranes out of peppers. Slice bottoms, if needed, to stand in Dutch oven. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet brown ground beef and ground pork. Drain. Put in another container so you can use large skillet again.

Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add can of drained chopped chili ready tomatoes. Stir and cook an additional 5 minutes or until simmering. Remove from heat. Add meat mixture, Parmesan cheese and spices into large skillet. Set aside.

Stuff peppers with mixture. Arrange the 5 stuffed peppers in the Dutch oven on top of the Marinara sauce. Cover with lid and cook for 1 hour.
  • Remove lid and spoon some of the sauce on each stuffed pepper. Add shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each pepper. Put back in oven and cook until cheese is melted. Serve with the Marinara sauce. I made a side of mashed potatoes to go with the dinner.
