Cooking With Vickie Britton – Stuffed Peppers

Aug 28, 2024 02:14PM ● By Vickie Britton

INGREDIENTS

6 medium peppers

1 lb of ground beef (I use chicken sausage)

1 chopped medium onion

1 (6 7/8 ounce) box of rice-a-Roni Spanish Rice mix

1 teaspoon sugar

1 can tomato sauce

1 (14 oz) can of tomatoes 

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or whatever is your favorite


DIRECTIONS

Remove the tops and seeds from your peppers. (I cut mine long way, they just sit better in the dish.) Place peppers in your baking dish.

Combine your onion and ground beef and cook until done. Drain off any fat. Add the can of tomato sauce to the beef and onion mixture and simmer for 5 minutes.

Prepare Rice-A-Roni according to the package directions. When the rice is done, combine it with the beef mixture.

Fill your peppers with the beef and rice mixture. If you have any leftover meat filling just place it around the peppers.

Mix 1 teaspoon of sugar with the tomatoes and pour it around the peppers. 

Cover the baking dish and bake at 350 for 35 minutes.

Uncover and top with the shredded cheese. Bake for another 5 minutes or so to melt the cheese.

So yummy!
