- 6 big green peppers
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dry onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 15 oz can tomato sauce
First cut the tops off of the peppers.
Scoop out the seeds too, making nice hollow
packages. Next get out a big bowl. In it
combine the cooked rice, raw hamburger, egg,
milk and seasonings. Mix it all up with your
hands, making a nice soft filling. Stuff the
peppers with this meat and rice filling. Do
not pack the stuffing down, just sort of
coax it in gently. You ought to have enough
filling to just fill each pepper almost
full. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking
pan or casserole. Pour the tomato sauce over
top of everything. Bake at 375° for about 50
minutes. The meat will be brown throughout,
and the peppers will be tender. Serve with a
sturdy bread or muffin and make a nice pie
for dessert. Add some salad too, for extra
crunchy vitamins. Carrot and Raisin Salad
would be good. This serves 6 folks when part
of a meal. If this is the only thing you
cook, it only serves 3. This is the only
stuffing I use for peppers because it is so
good and so easy to make. You could also
stuff eggplant or zucchini with it too, if
you felt so inclined.
