I made these this week and we really enjoyed them. As always, the things that make a recipe a hit are: that they were easy, Kit loved them, and Ryder ate them too! Hey, when all three criteria are met, I HAVE to pass the recipe along♥ . If you are not a bell pepper fan, I think you could do this same filling in something like zucchini and it would be really good too!

"Green bell peppers are stuffed with a mixture of ground beef, onion, tomatoes, rice, and cheese then baked in a tomato soup based sauce."
INGREDIENTS:
6 green bell peppers
salt to taste
1 pound ground beef
1/3 cup chopped onion
salt and pepper to taste
1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled
tomatoes, chopped
|
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup uncooked rice
1/2 cup water
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed tomato
soup
water as needed
|
DIRECTIONS:
| 1. | Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the tops off the peppers, and remove the seeds. Cook peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes; drain. Sprinkle salt inside each pepper, and set aside. |
| 2. | In a large skillet, saute beef and onions for 5 minutes, or until beef is browned. Drain off excess fat, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the tomatoes, rice, 1/2 cup water and Worcestershire sauce. Cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is tender. Remove from heat, and stir in the cheese. |
| 3. | Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (175 degrees C). Stuff each pepper with the beef and rice mixture, and place peppers open side up in a baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine tomato soup with just enough water to make the soup a gravy consistency. Pour over the peppers. |
| 4. | Bake covered for 25 to 35 minutes, until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly. |

I substituted turkey for beef and used tomato sauce instead of tomato soup because that is what I had on hand.
If you give them a try, I hope that you enjoy them like we did!
