Stuffed Green Peppers I

Baked green peppers filled with a saucy ground beef, rice, and cheese mixture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large green bell peppers
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Cut tops off green peppers and remove seeds and membranes.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and onion until meat is browned and onion is tender; drain fat.
  4. Stir in cooked rice, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder; cook and stir until heated through.
  5. Stuff each pepper with the meat and rice mixture and place in a baking dish.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove foil, sprinkle cheese over the peppers, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

For best results, use fresh green peppers and fully cook the meat mixture before stuffing. You can substitute ground turkey for a leaner option. Leftovers reheat well and make a great next-day meal.
