Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Stuffed Peppers

Green peppers stuffed with ground chuck and diced tomatoes and topped with cheese is a perfect dinner for you and your family.

 "this recipe took a lot longer with a lot more water than called for. one reason may be because, i used real rice rather than instant. i also didn't have any canned tomatoes (i'm not a big fan of cooked tomatoes anyway) and so i substituted with V8. And i also used Japanese worcestershire sauce. It came out delicious! I think I even use the stuffing for a sloppy joes - with a few little tweaks. " - Mayumimk

    This was delicious!! I did make a few modifications. I used diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano and I added 1cup of cheese to the mixture after the liquid was gone and added the 1 cup on top. I also added 1T of tiger sauce.

    Made with pepper jack cheese instead of the cheddar, Made such a different taste, but still good.

    Great Recipe. The rice cooks on the stove with all the ingredients just fine. I used a sharp cheddar cheese that topped it off. Will make again

    Failed to mention that the rice does not soften in oven and it's necessary to cook it first

    The biggest key is to not overcook the peppers, Steaming them keeps the nutrients there, and I like mine a little crisp, not soggy. If you have fresh herbs you can add those. I love cooking with my fresh herbs. It adds so much flavor. ENJOY! [I posted this recipe.]
