the absolute best stuffed peppers. And bonus, they’re super easy to make. You don’t even need to par boil the peppers first. You need eight bell peppers. They can be all the same color or all different colors. Try to use ones that are relatively the same size. And I prefer mine to be fatter as opposed to taller. Make sure they’re washed and dried. And then we’re just going to cut off the tops. Pull out the seeds and ribs. And if any of your bell peppers kind of flop over like that, you want to just trim off a tiny bit off the bottom so they sit flat in your casserole dish. They should be pretty snug, but not overly crowded. Season these with a little bit of salt and pepper. Then we’re going to take those tops and we’re going to dice them up. We’re not wasting anything here. You’re going to do that for all eight peppers and then these become part of the filling. We’re going to brown one pound of lean ground beef and a little bit of olive oil along with a small diced onion, two cloves of minced garlic, and those diced peppers. Once the beef is no longer pink and the peppers have softened, we’re going to drain off all that grease and season with salt and pepper. Add in one can of diced tomatoes with its juice, one can of Rotel, 1 cup of low sodium chicken broth, 3/4 of a cup uncooked long grain white rice, 3 tesps of brown sugar, 2 tsps of worsture sauce, 1 teaspoon of coarse salt, 1 teaspoon of taco seasoning, and some pepper. Mix this all to combine and bring it to a boil. Once that’s boiling, we’re going to give it one more stir, cover with the lid, reduce the heat to medium medium low, and cook for 20 minutes. At the same time, our filling is cooking these roast uncovered in a 400°ree oven. We’re going to stir in half a cup of Mexican blend shredded cheese until it’s melted. And now, we’re going to stuff those peppers that have been roasting. Fill your peppers all the way to the top. We’re going to sprinkle with a little bit more shredded cheese. Then, these go back in the 400° oven for 10 more minutes until the cheese is melted and the peppers are tender. The full written recipe along with proper storage information is on my website at bellyful.net if you want that. They’re just perfect in every way.

  2. Yum I used to make them all of the time… My recipe is very close to yours and yours look soooooo good! 😮

  3. I stuff my bell peppers with 1lb of ground bison, no tomatoes, fresh roasted green Chile, bell peppers, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, uncle bens wild rice. Top it, last 10 min of baking, with Sartori Merlot bellavitano and raclette cheese.

  4. Ur video is 👌 👏 👍 fabulous!! Easy to follow Brief but u showed every step! OH N BTW DELICIOUS 😋 😍 😜 LOOKING ❤

  5. It's a traditional Greek dish, we also stuff tomatoes , zucchini and aubergine with or without the beef with plenty of parsley and spearmint. We eat them with feta cheese. ❤ from Athens, Greece!

  6. Yum, I'm so ready for Autumn & Fall meals!🍂 my mom always made stuffed peppers with similar ingredients. But meatloaf style with the meat cooked in the peppers & the tomato poured over the tops & around the peppers. I would assume your peppers are more al dente & less soggy 😋

  7. I've watched a few of your videos now and just want to say that I appreciate your content. Thanks for providing recipes, too.

  8. My mom made stuffed peppers as long as I can remember, however, she stuffed them with ground beef and rice, then baked them in a tomato based sauce. Your recipe is different and I can’t wait to try it. Looks delicious🦋still love them.

  9. You can make that mini cheesesteaks and mozzarella cheese. It turned out so good and you don’t have to cook the rice.
