BEST Ever Easy Stuffed Peppers (5 Ingredients) image

Easy, cheesy, sausage and rice stuffed bell peppers - just five ingredients and ready in 20 minutes for the perfect weeknight meal!

Provided by Tiffany

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 bell peppers (tops cut off and seeds and membranes removed)
1 pound mild or spicy ground Italian sausage (for alternative protein options, see notes)
3 cup uncooked Spanish style rice (or white rice, see note)
1 ½ cups water
1 15-ounce can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
cilantro or green onions for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a large baking dish and arrange bell peppers standing up. (If they want to tip over you can always cut off the very bottom 1/8 of an inch or so to flatten them out and help them stand!) Transfer to preheated oven and allow to cook for 10-15 minutes until tender. (Move ahead with Step 2 while peppers are baking!)
  • In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook sausage for 5-6 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula or spoon as it cooks, until well browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer sausage to a platter, cover to keep warm, and set aside.
  • Add rice, water, and tomatoes to the pan, give it a good stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce to LOW, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir sausage and 1/2 cup of the cheese into the pan. Spoon mixture into the baked peppers and top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with green onions or cilantro if desired and serve.

Yield 6 1/2 peppers, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 bell peppers
2 lbs ground beef (approximately 2- 2 1/2 lbs)
1/2 medium sweet onion (1/2 -1 onion is fine)
1 cup uncooked rice (I used white rice)
3 (10 3/4 ounce) cans campbell's tomato soup
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can water (from used soup can)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
garlic, to taste

Steps:

  • Cut and clean 3 bell peppers length wise from stem to butt. Remove seeds and stem and set aside.
  • Mix ground beef, onion, rice, and 1 can of tomato in large glass bowl. Season as desired with salt, pepper, garlic, etc --.
  • Pour 1 can of tomato soup into a deep baking pan and add 1 can of water. Mix together.
  • Fill each pepper 1/2 with ground beef until all the peppers are full and meat mixture is gone. Place each stuffed pepper into pan. Use 1 can of tomato soup to top each pepper.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 450 degrees for approximately 1 hour or until peppers are soft.
  • ****You can also add cheese or other toppings to the top of the peppers. In addition, if you don't have rice you can use Ritz crackers. Some people like to add an egg to the meat mixture to help the meat stick together. I like to serve these with a side or rice or mashed potatoes. They are even good with noodles. Quick, easy, and very yummy!
