ITALIAN-STYLE STUFFED PEPPERS
These family-friendly stovetop stuffed peppers have a simple but flavorful mixture of lean ground beef, white rice, sweet peppers, tomato juice, and Parmesan cheese. The stuffed peppers cook thoroughly thanks to the sauce in the saucepan that cooks the filling and softens the peppers from below and the steam that is generated in the covered pan that cooks the top. Stuffed peppers can be made with any combination of starches, meat, sauces, and even beans, making them the perfect vehicle to reinvent leftovers in a satisfying way. Substitute couscous, orzo, or quinoa for the rice and stir some beans into the mix too. Use 1 cup cooked brown or white rice and 2 teaspoons dried basil in place of the seasoned rice and skip Step 1.

Steps:
- Cook the rice according to the package directions, omitting the butter or the vegetable oil. Let cool about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, with a sharp knife, slice off the top inch of each bell pepper and remove and discard the seeds; set the peppers aside.
- Combine the cooked rice, ground beef, 1⁄4 cup of the vegetable juice, the Parmesan, salt, and ground pepper in a medium bowl. Spoon the rice mixture evenly into the peppers.
- Place the peppers in a 3-quart saucepan; pour the remaining 1 1⁄4 cups vegetable juice around the peppers and set the pan over medium-high heat. Bring the juice to a boil; reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the peppers are tender and the beef is cooked through, 20 - 25 minutes. Serve the peppers with the sauce. Yields one pepper per serving.

HERBED TURKEY & RICE STUFFED PEPPERS

Number Of Ingredients 23
Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375° Fahrenheit.
- Coat an oven-safe baking dish with cooking spray so the peppers do not stick.
- Slice the top off the peppers and set them aside for later. Remove the ribbons, seeds, and all of the interiors of all of the peppers, being careful to not break or crack the walls of the peppers.
- In order to make the filling, in a large mixing bowl, combine half of the garlic, onion, and parsley, all of the dill, ¼ cup of tomatoes, rice, turkey, ¾ teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Set this aside for later.
- To make the sauce, get a non-stick skillet of medium size and heat the olive oil over medium heat, add the remaining onion, and cook for about 3 minutes, just until the onion is translucent. Add the remaining garlic, cook for 30 seconds, add the remaining tomatoes and ¼ teaspoon salt, add the water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Let this simmer for about 1 minute.
- Stuff the peppers to about ¾ the way up, leaving enough room for the rice to expand. Put the lids back on the peppers and add the tomato sauce mixture to the dish around the peppers.
- Cover the whole baking sheet with foil and allow them to bake for 75 to 90 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400° Fahrenheit.
- Cut off the lids of the bell peppers and empty out the interior, making sure to leave the walls of the peppers intact.
- In a large non-stick pan, brown the ground beef, garlic, and onions. Make sure to break it all up finely so the beef cooks evenly. You do want to pour this mixture into a colander once browned in order to get rid of any excess fat from the ground beef.
- Add the beef, onion, and garlic mix back into the pan, add the tomatoes, pasta sauce, Italian seasoning, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix this very well, bring to a boil, turn it down to a simmer, and allow it to cook for about 5 minutes.
- Stuff each of the bell peppers with this mixture, up ¾ of the way to the top of the peppers. Make sure the peppers stand upright in the baking dish, and pour the cup of water into the bottom of the dish, so the peppers are sitting in the water.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle each pepper with 2 teaspoons of parmesan. Allow this to bake for another 5 minutes.
THE BEST STUFFED PEPPERS
We've made this classic easier and faster by using the microwave to par-cook the peppers, saving you about 45 minutes of cook time! This is a great recipe to use up leftover rice. Be sure to really pile in the filling (mounding it is ok) as it will shrink as it cooks.

Steps:
- If your peppers don't sit upright on your cutting board, trim about 1/8-inch off the bottoms to even them out so they can stand without falling over. Cut the top off each pepper about 1/2-inch down. Remove and discard the stems, then finely chop the remaining flesh from the tops. Scoop out the seeds and as much of the membranes as you can. Place the peppers in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1/2 cup water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high power for 12 minutes. Carefully uncover and let them sit until ready to assemble.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spread the beef in an even layer and cook undisturbed until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Toss and continue to cook, breaking up any clumps with the back of a spoon and scraping up any browned bits from the pan until the meat is lightly browned all over, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the browned meat to a large bowl with a slotted spoon.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and add the reserved chopped peppers, onions, garlic, thyme, 4 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until falling apart and much of the liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly until brick red colored, about 1 minute. Stir in the wine and cook until the mixture is reduced, very thick and no smell of alcohol remains, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Transfer to the bowl with the beef. Stir in the rice until completely combined. (The mixture will be wet.) Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
- Place the peppers cut-side up in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Spoon the filling into the peppers, gently pressing it in with the back of a spoon. Be careful not to overstuff and split the sides of the peppers. Bake for 15 minutes. Then top with the cheese and continue baking until the filling is heated through and the cheese is browned in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.
