Stuffed Peppers
A top-rated stuffed pepper recipe loved by the Allrecipes community for its flavor and ease of preparation.
Ingredients
- cold water (1 cup)
- uncooked long grain white rice (0.5 cup)
- vegetable oil (1 tablespoon)
- ground beef (1 pound)
- green bell peppers (6 medium)
- tomato sauce (16 ounces)
- Worcestershire sauce (1 tablespoon)
- garlic powder (0.25 teaspoon)
- onion powder (0.25 teaspoon)
- salt (0 )
- ground black pepper (0 )
- Italian seasoning (1 teaspoon)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bring water and rice to a boil in a covered saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer until rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until evenly browned and crumbly, 7 to 9 minutes.
- Hollow out bell peppers by removing and discarding the tops, seeds, and membranes. Slice the bottoms of the peppers if necessary to make sure they stand up straight.
- Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward.
- Prepare filling by mixing cooked beef, cooked rice, 1/2 of the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon an equal amount of filling into each hollowed pepper.
- Mix remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers.
- Bake in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until peppers are tender, about 1 hour.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
