Stuffed Peppers #2

I didn't really have a recipe for this one. I just put the things in it that Zak and I like.

1 cup rice (Mady wanted just plain rice so we cooked extra)
Lean Meat
Peppers with the tops cut off and the seeds/inside cleaned out
Onion
I have salt in the picture to hold the meat up but I didnt use salt
Worstchire sauce
Garlic powder
Cheese

Cook the rice according to package directions
Cook the meat, add onions, wors. sauce, and garlic. Toss around and let it cook/simmer
Stir the meat and the rice together once rice is cooked
(I actually added rice to the meat mixtrue and not meat the the rice pot)
Add the amount of rice/meat to your desire
stuff the pepper
for the Husband, I put cheese at the bottom then stuffed and then added cheese on top
Bake at 350 for 15 mins (or until it looks done)

Past Recipes

Chicken and Dumplings (Crockpot)
*The history of Chicken and Dumplings is very interesting. Known as a popular dish in the south, it actually is known to have come from Asia and Europe. First in Asia in 618 ad as a stuffed dumpling dish, aka potstickers, then to Europe in the 1400s by Marco Polo, then to America in the 1800s.

Barbecue Pork Sandwiches (Crockpot)
*The healthiest pork options are lean cuts such as tenderloins, loin chops, and sirloin roast. Lean cuts of pork are high in protein and low in fat. They also have more vitamin B in them. To compare 3 oz of Pork Tenderloin and 3 oz of chick breast click here.. You will be suprised!

Meatless Stuffed Peppers
*There are many different colors of bell peppers. The most popular colors are red and orange. This is due to the sweet taste. The yellow pepper has a mild sweet flavor. The green pepper is known for being bitter. Then there is the purple pepper that is slimy and very rarely eaten.  The bright peppers are sweet because they are ripe and of course darker mean no as ripe.

Taco Soup (Crockpot)
*Taco soup is so easy to make. Plus it is one of those recipes that you can add whatever you would like. You are supposed to eat every color of the rainbow and with taco soup, this can be done! Onino, celery, broccoli, squash, carrots, peppers, olives, and so on. I am pretty picky about my veggies so honestly I do not have all the colors of the rainbow in my soup, but it sure is magically delisious!

Chicken Tortilla Soup (Crockpot)
 *Chicken Tortilla Soup is said to be a new recipe in countries all over the world. It is very common to have a broth soup and top it off with onions and such. Then there is the famous chicken noodle soup. With noodles being taken out and adding fried tortilla strips the chicken tortilla soup was born. This is just simply yummy! I crave this actually and think that my reciepe beats any reciepe I have tasted!

Meatless Stuffed Peppers

I am not a fan of a hater of peppes. Not ground pepper, bell peppers, banana peppers, or any other peppers. Although I do not like peppers, I always wanted to cook a stuffed pepper. My husband loves peppers and I figured it was my perfect chance to try them out. I did a meatless stuffed pepper so it could be a side dish to, well, anything. Fish, steak, chicken, or just by itself. (If you are eating it alone, I would just add some lean ground beef to make a "fuller" meal.


Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup uncooked rice
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 4 green bell peppers (or any color you want)
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsely
  • 2 cups tomato cause
  • 4 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • garlic to taste

Directions:
  1. combine rice and water in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 mins
  2. preheat oven to 400 degrees
  3. cut tops off peppers, remove seeds inside, arrange peppers in large backing dish
  4. chop usable tops into small piece for the mix
  5. heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Saute chopped peppers, chopped onions in oil until soft.
  6. Reduce heat to low and add parsely, cook for 5 mins stiring
  7. Add rice and 1 1/5 cup of tomato cause. Season to taste with garlic, salt, and pepper
  8. Spoon mixture into peppers and top with remaining tomatio sauce
