I have been cooking this for Adam since we were dating and we never get sick of it!
I have tweaked the recipe throughout the years and I have finely perfected it to our liking! :) enjoy
Stuffed Bell Peppers
Ingredients:
4-5 Bell peppers any color of your choice (green, yellow, orange or red). I try to use the largest sizes possible.
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground Italian sausage (I’m I use spicy but that’s optional if you don’t like hot)
1 cup Instant Rice or 4 servings cooked
1 large sweet onion diced
2 large jars marinara sauce
1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 egg
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cut tops off of peppers removing seeds and the soft membrane inside and discard. Place in a pot of boiling water for 3-5 minutes until the pepper becomes soft.
Combine in a large bowl the ground beef, sausage, salt, pepper, breadcrumbs, diced onion, egg, cooked rice and stir until well incorporated.
Stuff beef mixture into the bell peppers.
In a 3 inch tall baking pan place a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the pan. Place peppers on top of sauce.
Pour remaining marinara sauce over peppers. Cover baking dish with a lid or foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove from oven and place mozzarella cheese on top.
Place in the oven and cook an additional 10 minutes
These are a family favorite!
Enjoy :)
