Recipe Introduction
This is our all-time favorite recipe and one that I've made for a very long time. You can cook the peppers in a slow cooker. Prepare as directed and then place the stuffed peppers in the slow cooker. Cover with sauce as directed. Cook on high 1 hour and then reduce the temperature to low. Cook 4 hours on low. Uncover and serve.
List of Ingredients
- 6 large green bell peppers
- 5 cups boiling salted water
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 15 ounces tomato sauce
Instructions
- Note: I don't parboil the bell peppers any more. I prepare the peppers as directed and then microwave them on a microwave-safe plate until just tender.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut thin slice from the bottom end of each pepper. Remove all seeds and membranes. Wash inside and out. Cook peppers in boiling salted water then drain.
- Cook ground beef and onion in medium skillet until the onion is tender. Drain off fat. Stir in salt, garlic salt, rice and 1 cup tomato sauce. Heat through.
- Lightly stuff each pepper with 1/2 cup meat mixture. Stand peppers in an ungreased 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking dish. Pour remaining tomato sauce over peppers. Cover and bake 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 minutes longer. Serves 6.
