Grandmas Stuffed Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cut the tops off the peppers and discard seeds and membranes.
• Boil peppers for 5 minutes. Remove and stand upright in a 13x9 casserole dish.
• Generously sprinkle inside of each pepper with salt (1/2 tsp or more if you like).
• Cook ground beef and onions until meat is browned.
• Season beef and onion mixture with remaining salt, pepper, garlic, and seasoned salt.
• Add tomatoes, water, rice, sugar, and Worcestershire sauce and stir.
• Cover and simmer until rice is tender (approximately 15-30 minutes).
• Stir in 1 cup shredded cheese.
• Stuff peppers with the meat and rice mixture.
• Bake uncovered for 20 minutes at 350°F.
• Top peppers with remaining cheese and bake and additional 5-10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Clean peppers thoroughly inside and out.
• Mix by hand all ingredients except for the pasta sauce and the mozzarella cheese. If, after adding can of tomatoes mixture still feels too "wet", add more rice until the consistency is a little more solid. More Parmesan cheese may be added if wanted.
• Boil peppers in a large pot of water for about five minutes or until soft. place inside your baking/casserole dish when each is finished. Open jar of pasta sauce and add one full tablespoon inside each pepper. I like to use Prego.
• Using a clean tablespoon, add stuffing mix by spoonful until each pepper is completely full, be careful not to break them.
• Dump the rest of the pasta sauce into the baking/casserole dish to cover the bottom of the peppers. Add a small amount of water to the jar, swish around and add to pan.
• After about 2 1/2 hours, remove peppers from oven and top with mozzarella cheese. Return to oven for another half hour or until cheese melts.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Mix first 8 ingredients well.
• Cut green peppers in to quarters (or thirds - depending on size of peppers).
• Fill cut peppers with the meat mixture.
• In a dutch oven, mix the tomato soup, tomato sauce and stewed tomatoes.
• Add the additional 1/2 cup of water
• Arrainge filled pepper in the bottom of the pan.
• Spoon sauce over pepper.
• Cover and back foe 2 hours.

Steps:

• If your peppers don't sit upright on your cutting board, trim about 1/8-inch off the bottoms to even them out so they can stand without falling over. Cut the top off each pepper about 1/2-inch down. Remove and discard the stems, then finely chop the remaining flesh from the tops. Scoop out the seeds and as much of the membranes as you can. Place the peppers in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1/2 cup water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high power for 12 minutes. Carefully uncover and let them sit until ready to assemble.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spread the beef in an even layer and cook undisturbed until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Toss and continue to cook, breaking up any clumps with the back of a spoon and scraping up any browned bits from the pan until the meat is lightly browned all over, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the browned meat to a large bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and add the reserved chopped peppers, onions, garlic, thyme, 4 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until falling apart and much of the liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly until brick red colored, about 1 minute. Stir in the wine and cook until the mixture is reduced, very thick and no smell of alcohol remains, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Transfer to the bowl with the beef. Stir in the rice until completely combined. (The mixture will be wet.) Season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Place the peppers cut-side up in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Spoon the filling into the peppers, gently pressing it in with the back of a spoon. Be careful not to overstuff and split the sides of the peppers. Bake for 15 minutes. Then top with the cheese and continue baking until the filling is heated through and the cheese is browned in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• wash and thoroughly dry peppers and cut the tops off. Remove seeds and white veins inside, keeping the body of the pepper whole.
• Break the bread into pieces of varying size but nothing more than about a half inch square.
• Remove the tomatoes from the can and squish into the bread breaking into pices (you may not have to use all the tomatoes in the can... go by how it looks and feels if it's too dry add some of the juice from the can.) The mixture should be moist but not very wet.
• Stir in the rest of the ingredients and incorporate thoroughly.
• Stuff the bread mixture into the hollow peppers and level off on the top. (pack them fairly tightly but don't jam or force the stuffing into the pepper).
• Heat about ½ inch of oil in a deep frying pan on about medium high (I like to use half olive oil, half vegetable oil for the flavor).
• Fry the stuffed peppers until the skin begins to turn golden brown, the pepper becomes soft and the filling is heated through.
• Remove from oil and sprinkle with a little salt, if desired.
• Can be served hot, warm or right out of the refrigerator! (p.s omit the anchovy and this is a nice vegetarian (not vegan) dish).

Steps:

• Slice tops off peppers, seed and set aside.
• Meanwhile, slowly heat olive oil in large Dutch oven, then add onion and let brown.
• While onion browns, mix together ground meat, salt and pepper to taste, garlic, parsley, basil, cheese, eggs, and breadcrumbs. Mix lightly; do not overwork. Divide meat mixture into six portions, gently roll and stuff into peppers.
• When onion is brown, add peppers and brown on all sides. After browning, stand peppers upright and pour marinara sauce over them. Simmer for 1 hour on the stove top. When almost done, remove lid and cut each pepper in half lengthwise, then continue cooking until done.
• Serve each pepper with some sauce spooned on top and sprinkled with some grated cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the tops off the bell peppers. Remove seeds. Parboil the peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes. Carefully remove peppers and drain any excess water. In a frying pan, brown ground beef and onion until meat is no longer pink. Drain if necessary. Stir in the tomatoes, rice, and water. Cover, and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until rice is tender. Remove from heat. Salt and pepper to taste. Stuff each pepper with beef and rice mixture. Place stuffed peppers open side up in a baking dish. Sprinkle tops with breadcrumbs. Pour 1/2 cup water in bottom of baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 30 minutes, or until heated through.
