BAKED STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F.
• In a large bowl combine ground beef, cooked rice, minced pepper, minced onion, minced garlic, Italian seasonings, beaten egg, breadcrumbs and salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
• Use your hands to mix ingredients well.
• Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup - measure out a 1/2 cup meat mixture for each halved pepper and fill.
• *At this point, if you are using this recipe for OAMC you can wrap your peppers in saranwrap, then place them in a zip-lock bag and store them in the freezer for later use.*.
• Place peppers in a baking dish and cover with your favorite jarred or homemade spaghetti sauce (about 1 cup per pepper half).
• Cover and allow to cook 90 minutes (Please note that I have only ever made 4 halves at one time - so the cooking time could be longer if making 6 or more at the same time.).
• After 90 minutes, check to see how far along the peppers are cooked; if they are nearly done uncover and baste with some of the spaghetti sauce from the baking dish (as mentioned above, if baking many peppers all at one time there is the possibility that they will not be as far along at this point - please continue to bake covered an additional 30 to 45 minutes and then proceed with the following instructions.).
• Bake an additional 20 minutes then top each pepper half with shredded cheese and continue baking another 10 to 15 minutes.
• Serve along side freshly baked bread and a salad, enjoy!

BAKED STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Chop enough reserved green pepper tops to equal 1/4 cup; discard remaining tops or use for another purpose. Set chopped pepper aside.
• Place hollowed-out green peppers in a microwave-safe dish; cover and cook in microwave until bright green and steaming, about 3 minutes. Set peppers aside.
• Cook and stir ground beef in a skillet with reserved chopped pepper tops and onion over medium heat until beef is browned, the juices run clear, and the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes; drain excess grease. Pour in diced tomatoes with their juice, rice, water, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover skillet, and simmer until rice is tender, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Stir cheese into ground beef-rice mixture and spoon mixture into precooked peppers. Set peppers upright in an 8x8-inch baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and the peppers are tender, about 30 minutes.

If they don't stand upright on their own, cut off a thin layer of the bottoms. Then carefully stuff the peppers with the beef/rice mixture. 5. Top the peppers with the remaining sauce. Bake for 1 hour, adding cheese to the tops of the peppers after 50 minutes. Peppers should be soft but not mushy.

ROASTED STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• To Roast Peppers:.
• Preheat the broiler. Place the peppers on a baking sheet or in a shallow ovenproof dish and broil until the skins blister and turn brown. Turn the peppers until charred on all sides, about 15 minutes.Transfer the roasted peppers to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside to cool.
• When the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel the skins and remove stems and seeds(see below). Use immediately(in recipe) or make extra and drizzle with olive oil and store in the fridge for up to 2 months.
• Heat olive oil in a saute pan until very hot. Add the garlic, onion, and gingerroot and saute until you can smell the aroma. Add rice and mix well. Remove from the heat. Add the mozzarella, cream, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cool before stuffing the peppers.
• Preheat oven to 375*F. After you have peeled the peppers carefully to keep them whole,cut off the tops and remove seeds. Stuff each of the peppers with about 1/2 cup stuffing. Place on a baking sheet greased with olive oil. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot. Enjoy!
