What's For Dinner--- July 21

It's been one of those days, the kind where you are counting down until the kids bedtime-kwim?   Matt is out flying around in a friends airplan of all things, so I gotta make this quick and tend to my needy children.   Tonight I prepared

Stuffed Green Peppers.   This dish pairs perfectly with a side salad.  This is a yummy stand-by meal that I like to do once every other month or so.  My sister passed on this winner recipe, I can post it if anyone is interested.

As requested, here's the recipe:

Stuffed Green Peppers

Ingredients


6 green bell peppers (Tonight it filled 4 w/ no leftovers)

salt to taste

1 pound ground beef (I use extra lean for a healthier version-tastes just as good)

1/3 cup chopped onion

salt and pepper to taste

1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 cup uncooked rice

1/2 cup water

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed tomato soup

water as needed

Directions

1.Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the tops off the peppers, and remove the seeds. Cook peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes; drain. Sprinkle salt inside each pepper, and set aside.

2.In a large skillet, saute beef and onions for 5 minutes, or until beef is browned. Drain off excess fat, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the tomatoes, rice, 1/2 cup water and Worcestershire sauce (I stir in the 1 1/2 cans tomato soup here). Cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is tender. Remove from heat, and stir in the cheese.  

3.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (175 degrees C). Stuff each pepper with the beef and rice mixture, and place peppers open side up in a baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine tomato soup with just enough water to make the soup a gravy consistency. Pour over the peppers.  (I use the last 1/2 can soup here-and top with a sprinkle of cheese)

4.Bake covered for 25 to 35 minutes, until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly. Sphere: Related Content
