Stuffed Peppers Recipe

Ingredients:

• 9 Bell peppers
• 1 1/2 lbs Ground beef
• 1/2 cup Minced onion
• 2 cups Yellow rice
• 1 can (10oz) Tomato sauce
• 1 large can Tomato soup
• Mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
2. Prepare the Peppers:
   • Wash the bell peppers and cut the tops off. Remove the seeds and membranes from inside the peppers.
   • Stand the hollowed-out peppers in a baking dish, ensuring they are stable.
3. Cook Ground Beef and Onion:
   • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the minced onion until the meat is fully cooked and the onions are translucent. Drain any excess fat.
4. Prepare Yellow Rice:
   • Cook the yellow rice according to the package instructions. This typically involves simmering the rice with water until it’s tender and has absorbed the liquid.
5. Combine Beef, Rice, and Sauce:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef and onion mixture with the cooked yellow rice.
   • Add the tomato sauce to the beef and rice mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined. You can add salt and pepper to taste if desired.
6. Stuff the Peppers:
   • Spoon the beef and rice mixture into each hollowed-out pepper, packing it in and mounding it slightly on top.
7. Prepare Tomato Soup:
   • Pour the large can of tomato soup into a bowl. You will use it to pour over and around the stuffed peppers.
8. Assemble in Baking Dish:
   • Arrange the stuffed peppers in the baking dish. Pour some tomato soup over and around the peppers, allowing it to fill the spaces between them.
9. Add Mozzarella Cheese:
   • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the tops of the stuffed peppers.
10. Bake:
    • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the peppers are soft and the cheese is melted and golden brown. This usually takes around 25-30 minutes.
11. Serve:
    • Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
