I make a mean stuffed bell pepper! But I don't exactly have a recipe. I just know what I put in it.....
1 or 2 eggs
rice
coarse black pepper
garlic salt
mrs dash (original)
little bit of ketchup0 -
ground beef (you can use ground turkey too)
chopped onion
tomato sauce
rice
salt
pepper
garlic salt
you just brown the meat with the onion, add the spices, and the tomato sauce and stuff the peppers. You can put some of the sauce over the peppers as well.
Instead of rice you could substitute quinoa0 -

I make Mexican Stuffed peppers:
Onions-diced
Green peppers-diced
Brown Rice or Quinoa
Black Beans
Tomatoes-diced
Corn
Mexican Shredded cheese - a little in them and a little sprinkled on top
Taco Sauce
Low Sodium Taco Seasoning
Ground beef, chicken, pork or tofu

Sloppy Joe Stuffed Peppers
1# lean ground beef (90% lean or better)
1 small onion, chopped
1 large stalk celery, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 c. tomato sauce
1 t. granular Splenda
1-1/2 t. white vinegar
1-1/2 t. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 t. mustard
1/2 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper
8 oz. shredded cheddar, divided
3 green peppers, halved lengthwise (we generally do a red, yellow and an orange pepper)
Brown the ground beef, onion, celery and garlic; drain fat. Stir in all remaining ingredients except the cheese and green peppers. Simmer 10 minutes. Meanwhile, parboil the pepper halves in a little boiling water for 3 minutes; drain. Place peppers, cut-side-up in a shallow baking dish. Remove meat from heat and stir half the cheese into the mixture; fill pepper halves with meat. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and peppers are tender.
Makes six servings.
It's about 267 calories per serving (1 stuffed half pepper)

Greek Stuffed Peppers
INGREDIENTS:
4 3-oz. bell peppers (try to select peppers with fairly flat bottoms)
16 oz. ground beef (or ground lamb)
2 oz. onion, chopped fine
1 roma tomato, chopped
1 T. tomato paste
1/3 c. water
¼ c. red wine
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. crushed dried oregano
¼ c. parsley, chopped
½ c. feta, rinsed in strainer under cold water
½ c. Monterey Jack cheese
2 tsp. Parmesan
DIRECTIONS: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut the tops off peppers and save for some other use. Remove seed core. Boil the main pepper bottoms 3-4 minutes to begin to tenderize them a bit, which will greatly shorten overall baking time on this dish. Remove and drain and place in baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350º at this point. Next brown the ground meat in a non-stick skillet. Add onion, garlic, tomato, tomato paste and water. Next add the parsley and spices. Simmer about 10 minutes, stirring, until tomato and onion are fully tender and the liquid is evaporating nicely. Add feta and Jack cheese. Stir to blend and melt. Remove from heat. Stuff the peppers and sprinkle the tops with the Parmesan cheese. Pop in preheated 350º oven for 30-35 minutes or until pepper shells are tender, but not overcooked and falling apart. Serve with a nice Greek salad.

When I do these - I use red peppers on occasion, they have a different flavor. Also, roast the pepper for like a minute before putting it in the oven.
I like ground beef, tomato sauce, onions, rice, a hint of paprika, salt, and pepper. If not paprika, then tobasco. and ALWAYS garlic and oregano.
I also cut the peppers in half so they are plates instead of cups.
don't forget the cheese.0 -
Italian Style stuffed peppers.
6 red peppers cut lengthwise
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic ( I used garlic powder)
2 large zucchini, finely sliced
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tabs oregano, or to taste ( can use some marjoram as well)
half a cup of sliced black olives
1 large cup cooked long grain rice
Heat a medium size pan, add a small amount of oil, or use cooking spray, and saute onion and crushed garlic until onion is tender.
Add zucchini, crushed tomatoes, oregano, balsamic vinegar, simmer until zucchini is softened.
Add olives and cooked rice. Simmer a while longer until thickened.
Place capsicums in baking dish and fill with the mixture. Cover with foil and bake in a moderate oven for around 40 mts or until cooked to your liking. We like them to be quite soft. Remove foil, and sprinkle a little cheese on top (optional) and allow to melt.
Serve with crusty bread., or as a side dish.
I have added a cup of chopped mushrooms, along with the zucchinis, sometimes. Depending on the size of the peppers you may have enough filling for another 1 or 2. These freeze well and I reheat in the microwave. Enjoy!0 -
