Stuffed pepper recipe- help

Abrowneyegirl — Sat, 15 Oct 2016 16:18:20 GMT

Does anyone have a stuffed pepper crock pot/slow cooker recipe that the rice does not have to be pre-cooked?

Looking for a friend who swears this is possible but I can not find online?

I have done it this was for years. I use an instant rice not the long cooking one.

I have not made this (I never heard of making stuffed peppers without precooking the rice), but it is from Taste of Home. I hope that it tastes good.

4 medium sweet red peppers

1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup (4 ounces) shredding pepper jack cheese

3/4 cup salsa

1 small onion, chopped

1/2 cup frozen corn

1/3 cup uncooked converted long grain rice

1 1/4 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp ground cumin

Optional: sour cream

Directions:

Cut and discard tops from peppers; remove seeds. In a large bowl, mix beans, cheese, salsa, onion, corn, rice, chili powder, and cumin; spoon into peppers. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker coated with cooking spray.

Cook, covered, on low for 3-4 hours or until peppers are tender and the filling is heated through. If desired, serve with sour cream. Makes 4 servings.

ABOUT THIS RECIPE

"I began making these about 22 years ago when a friend in nursing school with me used to feed me regularly and everyone loved her stuffed peppers. Prior to that the taste of a cooked green pepper made me RUN! I have, over the years, adapted her recipe into something entirely different though very loveable! You can use red peppers as well though my favorite is green. These are a comfort staple for me and very nutritious. They are wonderful to make and freeze as well. The chili sauce called for is the regular bottled type used often to make cocktail meatballs. I am posting this as my mother asked me for my recipe tonight. So mom, just hang on until it is posted! c./2007"

INGREDIENTS

6 green peppers
1 lb extra lean ground beef, I prefer 90% lean
3/4 cup long grain white rice, raw
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 ounce) cans original stewed tomatoes, chopped
1 (10 1/2 ounce) cans tomato soup
1/2-3/4 cup chili sauce
1/2-1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh black pepper

DIRECTIONS

Wash peppers, cut tops off and remove core. Drain and chop stewed tomatoes, reserving liquid.
In a large mixing bowl combine ground beef, rice, onion, garlic, 1/2 of the chopped stewed drained tomatoes, salt and pepper.
Stuff peppers with this mixture and sit in the crockpot standing up. Trim bottoms of any especially wonky peppers though they should stand and up packed nicely.
Combine tomato soup, chili sauce, the rest of the chopped tomatoes and reserved stewed tomato liquid. Check the consistency as you may not need all of the reserved tomato liquid.
Pour sauce over peppers.
Cook on low 6-8 hours or until tender. This can take less or more time as crockpots differ wildly.

I have never precooked rice when making stuffed peppers. the rice has always up just fine with the rest the ingredients. I stuff mine with a ground beef mixture.

I'm going to have to try one of these! I always make stuffed peppers in the oven - with cooked rice. After living in Japan, I got used to rinsing my raw rice over and over. Now when a recipe calls for raw rice I still rinse it before I use it. I'll have to be careful and make sure it's completely drained before I add it, or it could affect the sauce and make it too liquidy!

@Nightowlz - Do you cook the ground beef first? Or do you mix it in with the other ingredients when it is uncooked? TIA!

I want to make these tomorrow. If anyone else can help too, I'd appreciate it!

@beach-mom Sorry I found the recipe online. I would say not to cook the beef first since the recipe calls for x-lean ground beef & does not say cooked. The rice was noted to use raw. Hope you figured it out & it turns out good. Let me know if you made it.

I never precook the rice OR par-boil the peppers when making stuffed peppers. Everything always turns out yummy.

We're crazy about Stoffers Stuffed Peppers in Creole Sauce. When they're on sale, you can't even buy them, they're such a favorite.

@Nightowlz - I made this today! I didn't get to eat it tonight, as I wasn't home, but it was a hit with DH and DD! When I got home the only thing DH said to do next time was add more ground beef - of course that's one of his favorite things!

I did use raw rice (for the first time in a crock pot), but I also washed it until the water ran clear as I usually do. I also didn't cook the beef. So it worked! DH said this recipe was "a keeper"! Thank you for posting it!

(I will get to have leftovers tomorrow - looking forward to it!)

This may not be what you'really looking for, but check out www.mrfood.com and search for "Stuffed Pepper Casserole". I've made it and it's very good. If you'really unsure about cooking rice, you could purchase cooked rice at a local Chinese restaurant. Minute Rice is fool proof, too.
