"I have been using this recipe that I found in the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook since I found it in 1971. It is the best stuffed pepper recipe there is. Boyfriends and husband loved it! Gave the recipe to a friend who made it for a crowd of high school lacrosse players and they raved!! Personally, I use a bit more worchestershire sauce, cheddar cheese and stewed tomatoes instead of plain. A wonderful family style recipe. Love the tri-color peppers. " - Natasha639

Stuffed Pepper Cups Preparation

Heres one I use all the time from my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook: Cut off the tops of 6 medium green eppers; remove seeds and membrane. Precook green pepper cups in boiling salted water about 5 minutes; drain. (For crisp peppers, omit precooking). Sprinkle inside of cups generously with salt. Cook 1 pound ground beef and 1/3 cup chopped onion til meat is ightly browned. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and dash pepper. Add one 1-pound can tomatoes, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice, and 1 teaspoon Worchestire sauce. Cover and simmer til rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in 4 ounces sharp process American cheese, shredded (1 cup). Stuff peppers; stand upright in 10x6x1-1/2 inch baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Serves 6.

	Very good dish... My husband loved it, and he rarely compliments my cooking =P Instead of using uncooked rice, i just mixed in a 1/2 cup of leftover cooked rice later on. Tsroque 3 weeks, 5 days, 1 hours, 3 minutes ago
	Added garlic to meat. Used Cheddar instead of American. Blended a red sauce from a can of tomatoes, ketchup, garlic, salt & italian seas and poured over top. Last 5 min more cheese: TH BOMB! Summergirl520 1 months, 1 days, 20 hours, 14 minutes ago
	I didn't expect it to be so good given how easy it was! I made it exactly as written and hubby and I loved it! Bonnieenders 1 months, 2 days, 16 hours, 37 minutes ago
	This was so easy to make and my kids loved it! I felt it needed a bit more salt but otherwise it was a hit in my home laura_dinten 1 months, 6 days, 17 hours, 35 minutes ago
	Wow - I didn't expect these to be so good given how simple they were. I made no changes and was impressed with the flavor and texture. I really liked the 5 min pre-boil technique. Bonnieenders 1 months, 1 weeks, 1 days, 18 hours, 4 minutes ago
	Absolutely perfect! I've made Stuffed Peppers from other recipes and this one is my favourite! I did add 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic to the meat mixture and 1 Cup Tomato Juice instead of water. Did not boil the Peppers as we like a little crunch to them and used tri-colours for the Peppers. Very Yummy! summerpls 1 months, 1 weeks, 3 days, 23 hours, 46 minutes ago

	These are in my oven now! I will say, they look SO GOOD! But I'm thinking next time I will add some tomato sauce on top and maybe some melted cheese. Has anyone tried doing this? crdieman77 2 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, 19 hours, 9 minutes ago
	gurlopenminded 3 months, 1 weeks, 20 hours, 26 minutes ago
	I just made these for supper and we all liked them. I added 1/2 cup of cheese & breadcrumbs with 2 tsp of melted butter to the top to give the peppers crunch. I will be making these again. susieq_64 6 months, 1 weeks, 1 days, 16 hours, 14 minutes ago
