My Mom used to make these Stuffed Peppers all the time for our family when I was little. This version is very similar to what she made for us in the 70’s!
Stuffed Peppers
These easy stuffed peppers are like what Mom used to make back in the 70's!
Ingredients
- 6 large green, red and/or yellow bell peppers
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ⅓ cup tomato paste
- One 15-ounce can chopped fire-roasted tomatoes
- ¼ cup minced fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 3 teaspoons dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, cut into ½-inch cubes (or use shredded)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Cut tops off of the peppers. Then, scoop out seeds and membranes and discard.
- In a large skillet, sauté the onion and garlic for 5 minutes. Add the beef and cook until browned. Stir in remaining ingredients, mixing well.
- Stuff the peppers with the beef mixture and place in a rimmed casserole dish. Bake 30 minutes until hot and bubbly.
Notes
