Categories     Stuffed Bell Peppers

Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 teaspoon olive oil
4 large orange bell peppers
1 pound ground beef
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 pinches cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
⅓ cup thinly sliced green onions
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup cooked rice
2 cups seasoned tomato sauce, warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Oil a baking dish with olive oil.
  • Use a small knife to cut eyes, nose, and mouth into the flattest side of each pepper, just like a jack-o'-lantern. Cut around the seedpods and remove the tops, trimming and discarding any seeds from under the stems. Trim the white membrane from the inside of each pepper and shake out any seeds. Place in the prepared baking dish.
  • Mix together ground beef, salt, pepper, cayenne, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, green onions, melted butter, ketchup, Cheddar cheese, and rice in a bowl until well combined.
  • Stuff mixture evenly into peppers and cover with the pepper tops. Wrap the baking dish loosely with foil and place on a sheet pan.
  • Bake in the upper center of the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue baking until peppers are tender and ground beef is cooked through, 10 to 15 more minutes.
  • Place stuffed peppers on a few tablespoons of warm tomato sauce. Serve immediately with more sauce on the side.

Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground turkey
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can yellow corn, drained and rinsed
1 jar salsa
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
guacamole, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Using a sharp knife, cut off the tops of each bell pepper. Use the knife to help cut out and remove the seeds and ribs from inside the peppers.
  • Place the peppers in a lightly greased roasting pan and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the onion, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper, and sauté until the onions have softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Toss in the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Move the onions away from the center of the pan to create an open surface in the skillet. Place the ground turkey in the center of the pan and break up the meat.
  • Move the meat and onions to the sides of the pan to create an open surface again. Pour in the black beans, corn, and salsa and stir the mixture until evenly combined.
  • Spoon the mixture evenly into the hallowed bell peppers and replace the bell pepper tops.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the bell peppers have softened and wilted slightly.
  • Remove the tops of the bell peppers, spoon on a large dollop of guacamole, and replace the tops.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by stepperanddaniel

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 bell peppers, any color
1 pound ground beef
1 egg
4 slices whole wheat bread, cubed
1 small onion, chopped
1 small tomato, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup chili sauce
¼ cup prepared yellow mustard
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  • Lightly mix together the ground beef, egg, bread cubes, onion, tomato, garlic, chili sauce, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Wash the peppers, and cut jack-o'-lantern faces into the peppers with a sharp paring knife, making triangle eyes and noses, and pointy-teeth smiles. Slice off the tops of the peppers, and scoop out the seeds and cores. Stuff the peppers lightly with the beef stuffing, and place them into the prepared baking dish so they lean against each other.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the peppers are tender and the stuffing is cooked through and juicy, about 1 hour.
