STUFFED BELL PEPPER CUPS         Recipe by mandagirl

READY IN: 45mins SERVES: 6

6 medium green peppers
1 lb lean ground beef
1⁄3 cup chopped onion
1 (1 lb) can tomatoes
1⁄2 cup water
1⁄2 cup uncooked long-grain rice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 ounces American cheese
1 dash salt
1 dash pepper

DIRECTIONS
Cut off the tops of the peppers and remove the seeds and membrane.
Precook the peppers in boiling salted water for about 5 minutes and drain on paper towel.
Sprinkle inside of peppers with a little salt or parmesan cheese.
Cook the ground beef with the onion until meat is browned.
Drain grease.
Season with salt and pepper (if desired).
Add canned tomatoes, water, uncooked rice and Worcestershire sauce.
Cover pan and simmer until rice is tender; about 15 minutes.
Stir in the American cheese.
Stuff peppers and stand upright in baking dish.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Note: When I make them ahead and refrigerate them, I cook them for 40-45 minutes.

From mandagirl: “This recipe is from my ancient 1970's version of Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. It was always my boys favorite growing up. I used to make double the filling and bake what didn't fit in the peppers around them.”

@kitcat51.  Thank you for finding it.  I wouldn't have read the notes to realize that the recipe came from there.  You're very kind.  Have a great evening.

Stuffed Pepper Cups

6 medium green peppers

1 pound ground beef

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 tablespoon fat

2 cups STEWED tomatoes

3/4 cup packed instant precooked rice

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Salt and Pepper

1 cup shredded sharp process american cheese

Oven 350

Cut off tops of peppers, remove seeds and membrane.  Precook cups in boiling salted water about 5 min., drain, sprinkle with salt.

Brown meat and onion in hot fat, add stewed tomatoes, rice, Worcestershire and salt & pepper.

Cover and simmer until rice is almost tender, about 5 minutes.  Add cheese.

Stuff peppers, stand upright in 10/x/6 x 1 1/2 inch baking dish.  Bake uncovered in moderated oven (350) 25 minutes or till hot.  Sprinkle with more cheese.

I made this all the time when my family was growing up.  My son didn't like peppers, so I took a fresh tomato and stuffed it with the meat & rice mixture.  I think using stewed tomatos makes all the difference.

I just wanted to thank you all for the responses to my stuffed pepper request.  I am sure I will be able to get back to my old recipe because of your information.  Happy cooking!
