Today’s receipe is Stuffed Peppers. I make mine slightly different than most do and I hope you will find this version tempting.
**4 Large peppers, cleaned and halved. I like to use green, yellow and red bells for color and taste. When cutting your peppers try to halve them so that you have the best flat sides to rest the peppers on.
1.5 lbs lean ground chuck
1 half cup rice, cooked and drained
1 egg
1 medium sweet onion, diced
4 or 5 fresh mushrooms, diced
celery salt, garlic powder, pepper and Mr Dales Steak Seasoning Sauce to taste. If you don’t have Mr Dales, you can use soy sauce.
1 bottle of Newman’s Own Alfredo Sauce (Save this for last)
Pre-heat your oven to 350. Mix all ingredients, except the alfredo, in a large bowl. If the mixture is still not holding together, use some crushed saltines to absorb some of the moisture. Place your peppers in a large non-stick pan. Pack the peppers with your meat mixture until all is used. They all should be brimming with the mixture. Cover your pan with aluminum and bake 45 mins to an hour. Remove the aluminum and pour part of the alfredo sauce over the tops of your peppers. Save some for spooning on later. Bake another 5 minutes and remove to let cool some.
**As Carlo has pointed out to me, not everyone likes bell peppers. If you don’t, then you can take this same recipe and make a meatloaf with it. Pour the alfredo sauce over the top like you would a tomato sauce, but make sure to wait until the end or the cheese’s in the alfredo sauce will burn.
Serve with your favorite veggies or salad and savor something different!
