Stuffed peppers are an all time favorite recipe in our house. I've made stuffed pepper soup and I also stuffed peppers with an Italian bread stuffing. Anyway you look at it peppers are the way to go if you like a hearty meal.
Today I decided to make my basic recipe using basic ingredients. I have learned a long time ago you don't have to add a million(exaggerating)ingredients to give your dish a great flavor. Good ingredients make a good meal....
Here's my traditional stuffed pepper recipe. It makes two huge peppers or 4 small peppers.
1 lb. 80% beef ground
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/2 tsp pepper
1 small onion chopped
1/2 to 3/4 cup cooked rice
2 cups Tomato sauce(Your favorite jar sauce works)
Mix all ingredients except sauce together with hands. Easier to do than with a spoon. You want all ingredients to work together so the meat is easy to spoon into the pepper and also make the meatballs.
This time I made one huge pepper and sliced it horizontally and made medium size meatballs with the remainder of stuffing. So good!
I made this recipe in the crockpot. Place sauce then peppers, then meatballs around the pepper and then added the remainder of sauce. I cooked on high 3 hours or low 5 to 6 hours.
Serve with fresh bread or maybe some mashed potatoes. Yummy!
