Easy stuffed pepper recipe?

sarahwebb81

Does anyone have a simple stuffed pepper recipe? I thought I saw one online that just called for peppers, ground beef or turkey, instant rice, tomato sauce, onions... and i'm not sure what else. Any ideas?

Eww, instant rice? You could cook actual rice and throw the ingredients in. I usually use a rice mix like Mexican or Spanish rice, brown some ground turkey, and mix it all together. Stuff into pepper halves and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until peppers are softened. Sprinkle some cheese on top if you like, and melt it in the warm oven.

use some herbs like cilantro or basil...that will taste really good. also, squirt on some lemon juice from fresh lemons into the ground beef or turkey! that will taste delicious

Here is mine and I love it - super simple!

4 - 6 bell peppers (we prefer red)
1 package ground turkey (we get ours from costco)
1/2 small onion
3tsp minced garlic
1 1/2 cup instant rice (white or brown)
2 cans tomato sauce
corn (if desired)

clean bell pepper - boil for 10 minutes

cook turkey with onion and garlic - cook rice and directed while browning turkey

mix turkey and rice together - add tomato sauce and corn

put peppers in oven safe dish - add mixture into peppers putting overflow around them

bake 350 for 30 minutes - add cheese if desired


this is a staple at our house!

Ground turkey, Zatarans Dirty Rice, or red beans & rice reduced sodium, no salt added canned corn, no salt added diced tomatoes
Prepare the dirty rice as instructed, and add corn and tomatoes (drained). Brown the turkey with some chopped onion, evoo and garlic. Mix all together, spoon into cleaned out red peppers (about 8 for this recipe), sprinkle with a bit of shredded mozz, bake for about 25 mins and done.

Enjoy!


Mine come out to be about 300 calories each I believe.

Oh! I made some just the other night! Here's what I put in it:

1 lb extra lean ground beef (or ground turkey if you like)
1 uncooked chorizo sausage
1 can black beans, drained
2 cups instant brown rice, cooked
2 cups salsa
2 cups shredded cheese
1 packge taco seasoning
5 large green bell pepers

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a casserole pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Cut peppers in half horizontally and core out. Arrange peppers in the casserole pan.

Brown the beef with the chorizo in a large skillet, so that the chorizo breaks up and flavors the meat. Then mix in the salsa, rice, beans, 1.5 cups of the cheese, and taco seasoing. Evenly distribute mixture in the peppers. Bake for 20 minutes. Sprinkle peppers with remaining cheese, return to oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes.

This was really quick and oh-so-tasty! I put it in the recipe calculator and it came out to 263 calories per a half of a peper.

Copy and paste from my recipe log...no rice, freakin awesome!


Kraft/Colby & Monterey Jack - Shredded Chesse,
Contadina - Tomato Sauce, 3/4 cup
Hunts - Petite Diced Tomatoes, 0.5 container (1 4/5 cups ea.)
Honeysuckle White - Ground Turkey 93/7, 1 container
A - Veg Cauliflower Raw .5 Cup, 1.5 cup
Goya Ics - Adobo All Purpose Seasoning With Pepper, 3 tsp.
Fresh - Generic - Yellow Bell Pepper, 2
Fresh Produce - Orange Bell Pepper, 2


Ok, that didn't show up well...let me see if I can break that down...

I mixed about a cup and a half of shredded cauliflower with my cooked ground turkey, let it simmer for about 5 minutes and took it off. I put it all in a bowl, added a little cheese (Feta and the Colby), mixed that and started stuffing my peppers. I used yellow and orange because it just tastes better to me. After I stuffed the peppers, I poured the tomato sauce on top, very little...enough to just kind of zig zag, which ended up being a little over half the can (small can), then sprinkled a little cheese on top. Popped in the oven for 20 minutes!

This will make enough for 10 bell peppers cut in half...I had mixture left over, but only made 8.

Took it to work, and everyone loved it. I told them it was cauliflower and no rice after they ate it!

We're having stuffed peppers tonight, here's my veggie (or vegan if you leave the cheese out) recipe for two servings

4 sweet bell peppers, deseeded and cut in half
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 courgette (zucchini), sliced
a few mushrooms, sliced
about a quarter of a red onion, chopped - or more, or garlic if you like
about 10 fresh basil leaves
a tablespoon of sunflower seeds, toasted
half a tin of chopped tomatoes
half a tin of kidney beans
about a tablespoon of tomato puree
about 50g cheddar, grated
salt and pepper

Heat oil in a medium saucepan and gently fry onion/garlic and courgette/zucchini slices
Place pepper halves in a large saucepan and pour boiling water over, cook for about 5 min then drain
Add remaining ingredients to onion mixture except the toasted sunflower seeds and fresh basil and cook on low
heat for about 10 min
Arrange pepper halves on a baking tray lined with foil, stir in seeds and basil to veg mixture and stuff peppers
Cover with foil and bake in oven about Gas 5 for 30 mins
Take out of oven, arrange grated cheese on top and grill/broil for a nice browned toasted cheese top

Serve with whatever else you like - I often put a couple of baking potatoes in the oven before starting the peppers then it's all ready together after about an hour.

This is a super yummy and healthy one:

Boil some brown rice, drain and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Cut up some cherry tomatoes and put those in the bowl. Put in a spoon of green pesto and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Mix all together.
Cut a pepper in half and take the core and seeds out. Spoon the mixture into the two halves and bake for 5-10minutes. Serve!

It's amazing.

My daughter made chili and put it in peppers, topped it with reduced fat cheddar, then baked until the peppers were soft but not soft enough to collapse. It was delicious!
