Stuffings For Green Bell Peppers?

[Chef Munky]

My neighbor has brought over a huge bag of Green Peppers. Here's the dish. Hubby has never liked my recipe for them. It was the usual ground beef, cooked rice, onions, seasonings, sauce.
I thought it was kind of boring to

What kind of fillings do you use?
I have plenty of ground pork, chicken, beef, chorizo.Veggies, lemons. Cheddar, mozz, parm, sour cream.

What to do? He's paranoid to try them again.

Thank you.

Munky.

Kathleen makes wonderful stuffed bell peppers.. she uses.. umm.. ground beef, rice, onion.. errmmm.. tomato... uh...well.. I love em.

Hmm. Just some thoughts, I haven't tried these:

Mexican with rice, chorizo, and salsa, maybe some black olives and cheese, top with sour cream

Thanksgiving, with chicken, Stovetop type stuffing and gravy

Greek, with ground lamb or beef, lemon sauce, rice, feta, Greek seasoning

Italian, with sausage, olives, marinara, parm, mozz, onion, garlic, lots of ground fennel seed and oregano

I usually freeze a lot of peppers.

I have several "healthy" recipes, but this one's more "manly." lol

well, anything goes. sub sausage (italian) or the chorizo for more flavor. try various fillers instead of rice such as stuffing mix (think thanksgiving) quinoa, spelt, bulgar wheat, small pasta. make sure you've seasoned the food well. cook peppers become dull if not seasoned. Soy sauce works well. ground pork, garlic ginger, green onion, finely chopped cabbage, and soy sauce is the basis for Chinese dumplings. That would make a great stuffed pepper.
leftover chili would be good!
experiment and let us know what works for you and yours.

I made a stuffed pepper pie one time, I'll see if I can find the exact recipe if you'd like...

Basically you cut the peppers into quarters and steam them to soften them.
Mix the ground beef,rice, onion, basil, oregano, and egg.
Lay the peppers in a pie plate then top with the beef mixture, then tomato sauce then top the whole thing with mashed potatoes and bake.

I stuff cubanelle or red Italian sweet peppers with Italian bread soaked with some water, ,evoo,marjoram fresh or dried, lots of garlic, salt and black pepper parmesan, or Romano cheese fresh grated, 2 ripe plum tomatoes celery with the leaves Italian parsley fresh now the Ugh part 8 oil packed anchovy fillets rinsed and chopped 1 can pureed plum tomatoes 32 oz., basil leaces chopped 1 cup of buttered bread crumbs. it's a little different. Let me know if interested and I'll post for you. I'm sure this would be great in bell pepper but I'm par boil them first or even cut in half and bake This is great with just a hunk of Italian bread, but goes great with pork roast or just grilled steak or chops of some sort.

Hiya Ma,

I'd love to have the recipe. When you have the chance.

He asked me after he ran to the sink. " Honey, where did you get that recipe?" I looked right at him, straight faced stare. "Well, I got it from your Mother dear" So much for his always blessing her Bell Pepper recipe. Yeah, I had a good laugh on that.

Great idea! Mrs. 40 C is the stuffed pepper maker. Will be dropping subtle hints.

My favorite bell pepper stuffing is leftover jambalaya. If you don't normally make jambalaya, get yourself a box of Zatarains, some shrimp and some chicken or andouille sausage and make some special for the peppers.

I love stuffed bell peppers. My usual go-to is either ground beef or sausage, onions, garlic, rice, and tomato sauce. I usually cut the peppers in half into 'boats' to hold the stuffings and roast for about half an hour.

Lots of new inspiration here to try it differently. Thanks, guys!

2 take 2-1/2 inch slices of Italian or French bread put the bread quickly under cold running water, Squeeze out excess water. Then tear into small pieces and set aside.
3 -beat 3 large eggs, 1 Tab. of evoo, 1 tea. dry or fresh majoram or Italian oregano 2 out of 5 cloves of garlic crushed,and fresh crushed balck pepper you decide on amount.Put this in a large bowl, Mix in the diced tomatoes 2 ripe plums,1/2 cup par or romano fresh grated,1/4 cup of parsley leave a 1/4 cup for later,2 Tab. fresh chopped Italian parsley, 8 chopped anchovy fillets,and the 2 slices of bread we set aside,Now mix in the bread crumbs.1cup unseasond,
4-Stuff the peppers with this mix.
5-Heat 1/4 c. evoo in large skillet add the remaining crushed 3 cloves of garlic in a med heat just til the garlic starts to turn golden add 1 can of 35 oz. tomatoe puree the remaining 1/4 c. celery, 6-8 leaves of chopped fresh basil and simmer til thickened about 15 - 20 min Here I add a little butter and pour this over the peppers making sure the peppers are flat then cover and simmer 45 min.

Thanks Ma,
Can't wait to try your recipe out. Sounds fantastic.
Maybe I'll make up an excuse to pay my neighbor a visit. I do owe her Grandson some soap. He gives my GR his used baseballs. He won't take my money he's more into bartering- Holds out for the good stuff. Smart kid!

P.S.
My face was hurting, cheek to, from biting it. Oh, it's hard snickering alone. It was sooo funny though.
