Stuffed Pepper Cups

Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook circa early 70’s

6 medium green peppers

1 lb ground beef

1/3 cup chopped onion

1 TBSP fat (I omitted this)

2 cups stewed tomatoes or 1 1-pound can

¾ cup packaged precooked rice

2 TBSP Worcestershire sauce

Salt & pepper to taste

1 cup shredded sharp process American cheese (I used cheddar)

Cut off tops of green peppers; remove seeds and membrane. Precook pepper cups in boiling salted water about 5 minutes (for crisper peppers, omit pre-cooking); drain. Sprinkle inside with salt.

Brown meat & onion in hot fat; add tomatoes, rice, Worcestershire sauce, and salt & pepper to taste. Cover & simmer about 5 minutes. Add cheese. Stuff peppers and stand upright in 10x6x1 ½ inch baking dish. Bake uncovered in moderate oven 350 degrees for about 25 minutes or until hot. Sprinkle with more cheese. Serves 6.

To me this was fairly mild, some chilli powder or other spices or your choice could be added, to taste.

Hope you like them, my DH loved them, I thought they could use a bit more spice, but tasted good anyway, and were easy to make. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing this. I have a similar stuffed pepper recipe, only it uses cauliflower rice instead of regular rice, so its considered healthier. I also add some mexican paprika or chili powder to spice them up.

You can easily make it yourself either using a food processor or I do it by hand: http://paleontastic.com/recipe-items/cauliflower-rice/

You could use Rotel tomatoes instead of stewed if you want more spice. Yum!
