Friday Night Stuffed Peppers




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1 pound Lean Ground Beef or 96% Lean Ground Round
6 green peppers
3/4 cup chopped onion
2 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes
2/3 cup pearled barley
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon basil
salt and pepper to taste


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Steps 1-3 may be done simultaneously.
1. Put barley in 2 1/2 cups of water and simmer, covered, on low heat until barley is tender and water is absorbed (about 25 minutes).

2. Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Slice the tops off the green peppers, remove seeds and membranes and immerse them in the water and let boil for 5 minutes. Remove and drain.

3. Brown ground beef and onions in a large skillet. Stir frequently, breaking ground beef into small pieces.

4. Mix diced tomatoes and cooked barley with ground beef; stir in spices. Put peppers right side up in ungreased baking dish. Fill peppers with beef/barley/tomato mixture. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes.

Makes 6 servings.

Cooking Tip: For a fun presentation, save the tops of the peppers and bake them alongside the stuffed peppers. Then serve with the stemmed tops back on the peppers.
