Here is my very simple, stuffed green pepper recipe… using my OWN GARDEN GROWN PEPPERS! (yeah!)

First, get about oh, 6 good sized green peppers and cut their little heads off and scoop out the seeds and clean them nice.

Meanwhile, brown a pound of ground beef, and add a few spices in there that you like… garlic, salt, season salt or whatever you like. We’re fairly simple, a shake of garlic, and a little season salt works good.

Here’s the fun part… add in two cups of cooked rice. You can make it just for the peppers, or if you have left over rice that works fine too. Simple. And add in a small jar of spaghetti sauce. Or your own sauce… yummm….. more local stuff, sounds good to me. (We used our own ketchup! It was good…. ) Heat it all up just to marry everything together good and then let it cool a little bit. Just so you don’t get burned stuffing the peppers and all.

Just spoon stuff that yummy mix into your waiting peppers. Place in a glass dish or a pan or something that has a little high sides to it… helps to support the peppers and also catches any juice and all that.

Pop a piece of foil over the top so they don’t dry out bad and pop in a oven for about an hour, hour and half… 350 degrees. You can do it faster, but you want the peppers to soften and cook yummy and all.

When they are done, I pile on a big dollop of Italian cheese… like a mozzarella blend and heat for another 5-10 minutes for it all to melt and become super yummy. And then serve!!!

Even my green pepper hating children tried them and decided they were okay…. I mean they ate them! Honestly! So an “ok” from a pepper-hater means if you like green peppers, they are super good and yummy! And simple to make! Give them a whirl!
