Another basic cooking for the beginner cooks. Stuffed Peppers
Ingredients used
4 green peppers
1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 1/4 cup of minute rice
marinara sauce, about 3/4th of the jar
3 different cheese used, Mexican, mozzarella and Cheddar
3 cloves garlic
onion power- to taste
salt -to taste
ground pepper-to taste
Direction:
Rinse peppers, cut off tops of peppers, remove stem from top portion and chop up top of pepper set aside. De seed and clean inside of peppers. set aside for later use.
In frying pan/skillet start to brown ground beef, mid way through add chopped pepper tops, smashed and chopped garlic. and seasonings. While you are cooking up the ground beef you can start your rice. Once ground beef is brown, drain grease.
once your rice is done ad rice to the ground beef in skillet. Then add your marinara sauce. let simmer on low for 15-20 min until rice soaks up marinara sauce
While your stuffing mixture is simmering you can par cook your peppers in a pot of salted boiling water, boil for 8-10 min until just getting soft. not too mushy though. once done drain peppers and place on plate or baking dish,
Now time to stuff your peppers with a as much stuffing you want, I like to really stuff them. Top with any flavor cheese you like.
If serving right away, bake in the oven until cheese is melted, about 30 min at 350
if not serving until later you can store covered in the fridge. To reheat from fridge, 350 anywhere from 45 min to 1 hour
