Heather's Stuffed Peppers
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
4 large Green Bell Peppers (or any color bell pepper you would like)
1 pound Ground 80/20 chuck or beef
1, 12 oz can Diced Tomatoes, drained
1 Onion, chopped
3 cloves Garlic, chopped
2 tsp each Salt and Pepper
1 small can Tomato Sauce
1 cup prepared White Rice
2 cups Marinara Sauce
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Shredded Cheese Blend
2 tbs parsley
Preheat oven to 350 F
Cut bell peppers in half from stem to bottom longways. Clean and place in a baking dish with just enough water to cover the bottom of the baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and place in hot oven for 20 min. ( This keeps the bell peppers tender but still firm. If you like a very soft pepper, add 20 min)
Prepare rice.
In a large skillet, cook ground chuck or beef making sure to mince the meat as it cooks. Add garlic, onion, diced tomatoes, salt and pepper. Once everything is cooked well together reduce heat to low and add rice and tomato sauce. Add more salt and pepper to taste if necessary. Scoop mixture into peppers and top with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and return to oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and top with shredded cheese blend and parsley and return to oven for 5 more minutes. Feeds 4 to 8. Serve with garlic bread
