A lot of times I am scared to use online recipes. People mainly only rate things whenever they are not satisfied. (As with most things like apartments and retailers!) How do I know if these people who rated things badly have good taste buds?? I don't. So, I suppose you just have to jump in and find out if the recipe you picked is good to your standards or not. Mr. Bloom and I love stuffed bell peppers. I began to search online for a recipe and as you can imagine, there are tons of them! I always love recipes with pictures. That goes for my cook books too! I found a recipe online with a yummy picture of a stuffed bell pepper. I was sold. They looked amazing. Here, for your eating pleasure, is the recipe!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb. Ground Beef
- 1/3 cup Onion, chopped
- 6 medium Green Peppers, remove seeds
(I use only 4 peppers)
- 1 dash of pepper
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, plus more for tops
- 1/2 cup long grain rice, uncooked
- 1 1 lb. can of diced tomatoes
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- Salt for Peppers
- 1/2 cup water
DIRECTIONS
- Cut off the tops of your green peppers. Remove the seeds and membranes.
- When we made these, Mr. Bloom just sliced the tops right off.. but the next time I made them, we just cut the core out of them.. I felt like we could put more stuffing in that way..
- The recipe says you can precook the peppers by boiling them in salted water for 5 minutes, but I didn't find that this was necessary.
- Sprinkle the inside of the peppers with salt.
- I poured salt in the cups, turned them to make sure they were coated with salt well, then emptied them out.
- Cook the beef and the onion until meat is lightly browned.

| The stuff everyone uses, but doesn't know how to pronounce! |
- Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a dash of pepper. Add the one pound can of tomatoes, 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of uncooked long grain rice, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
- Cover and simmer until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Stuff the peppers and place them in a baking dish.
- Mr. Bloom doesn't like bell peppers, so I only used 4 and put the extra topping around the other peppers.
- The recipe does not call for cheese on top, but I think that cheese makes everything better!!!
- Bake the Bell Peppers at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
- Don't do any less than that, or the peppers may not cook.

| YUM. |
- They should look something like this!
These were extremely easy to make. You just have to do a bit of waiting, but I'm sure there is something you can do in the mean time. These are definitely worth it! Since discovering this recipe, I have made them about 4 times! This is now one of Mr. Bloom's favorite requests. The online post says that they got the recipe from their Better Homes and Garden's cookbook, but I could not find it in any of mine.
The link to the recipe can be found, HERE!
And don't forget to take the stickers off of your peppers!!!
With that, Enjoy!
