The farmers market had peppers which
naturally made me think about this recipe.
I've had it for years.
You can also use red, yellow and orange peppers.
Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove
the seeds and membranes.
Chop the onion and garlic.
Start browning the beef. I like to put it in a
hot pan and let it sear for a few minutes before
I turn it, let it sear again, then break it up and
brown. This method really improved the flavor
of the ground beef. You'll notice a better
"grilled" hamburger aroma.
Mix in the chopped onion and garlic and continue
to break up and cook. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the seasonings.
Stir in the rice and tomato sauce.
Have the peppers ready in a 9x13 pan.
Fill with the ground beef mixture.
If you like extra sauce use an additional
can of tomato sauce. I usually do this.
Spoon the tomato sauce on the filled peppers
and sprinkle with a little Italian herb seasoning.
Cover until ready to bake. Then pop into a 350º
oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake, uncovered an additional 15 minutes until
the cheese is bubbly.
Corn is always a good side to serve with this:
either corn pudding, corn bread or muffins,
or corn on the cob. A good combo.
Lucky you if you have leftovers.
