My friend and I made some amazing Stuffed Peppers last night. We had an idea of what to do but for the most part....we kind of winged it!
We went and got our ingredients from Central Market, and they were so fresh. The Ingredients we got at the store were 2 green peppers, 1 yellow pepper, 1 red pepper, whole grain rice, season chicken, ground beef, spinach & chicken sausage link, spaghetti sauce, garlic powder, and an onion.
We put the rice on the stove to cook while prepping the other food. Next thing we did was cut the middle out of the Peppers and remove all seeds. After running warm water in the middle of the pepper making sure the seeds are out, place the peppers in boiling water and leave for 20-30 minutes. Then, cut the onions up and sauteed them in a different pan with the ground beef and sausage. The chicken we did separately because it was already seasoned and didn't want to mix flavors. Warm the spaghetti sauce up (we used a mushroomed based sauced to give it more flavor), and poor in rice (once drained). Sprinkle the garlic powder (a few dashes) over the rice and spaghetti sauce. Do the same with the salt. The amount of sauce depends on your preference! Ones the rice and meat are done, remove the peppers from the water and fill each proportionately with each mixture. Put each pepper in aluminum foil and place on baking pan. Bake on 350 for 40 minutes and remove...put cheese on top! YUM
We filled each of the peppers with something different (chicken mixture in one, ground beef in one, and sausage in the other). If I had to choose my favorite of the three...it would be between the sausage or chicken mixture. I loved it so much I had the left overs for lunch the next day.
Give it a try, and let me know your thoughts on this recipe! We really did not measure anything other than the rice....just guesstimated! :)
We cook at least once a week, so I will be updating you on our cooking adventours, and what we decide to make each week! :)
