Stuffed Red Peppers with BIG Italian Flavor!!!


These Stuffed Red Peppers are one of my favorite meals. The sweetness from the red peppers come together with all of the other ingredients to deliver a stuffed pepper meal with delicious Italian flavor.


Good For You Stuffed Red Peppers

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup uncooked rice
4-5 large red peppers, tops removed and seeded
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork or sausage
3 cloves finely minced garlic
1 small onion, diced
(1)14 1/2 ounce can tomato sauce with
basil, garlic and oregano
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon Worchester sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 water
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

DIRECTIONS

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Boil the rice and cook as per package directions.

Brown the ground beef, ground pork, and onion over medium heat. Add the garlic and once cooked, drain the fat. Add Worchester sauce, italian seasoning, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Stir the seasonings well in to the meat mixture. Add the tomato sauce, rice, breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese and mix well. Taste for salt and pepper and add per your taste. Simmer for about 5 minutes.

Place red peppers on baking sheet and stuff each pepper with the beef mixture. Mix the tomato paste and 1/4 cup water together, add salt and black pepper to taste. Top each pepper with the meat mixture and then with the cheese.

Bake the peppers covered with foil for 45 minutes. (keep the foil from touching the cheese or it will pull the cheese right off.) Bake the pepper uncovered for approximately 10-15 minutes or until peppers are soft.
