Ingredients

4 large red bell peppers
3/4 pound ground chuck
1/2 pound ground pork
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
2 teaspoons House seasoning, recipe follows
1 cup cooked rice
1/2 cup jarred cheese and salsa
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped green onion tops
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup hot water

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Start by cutting the peppers in half lengthwise, leaving the stems intact, and halving them also. Remove the seeds and ribs inside the peppers.

Using a hot skillet, saute the ground beef, pork, onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon of bouillon granules, and house seasoning together. Saute until onions become translucent. Drain the fat off. Add the rice, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, green onion tops, and soy sauce. Mix well and stuff the mixture into the peppers. In a small bowl, mix the hot water and the remaining bouillon granules. Pour this mixture into a shallow casserole large enough to hold all of the peppers. Place the stuffed peppers in the dish, cover with foil and bake for 25 to 35 minutes. Remove the foil and spoon the juice from bottom of the casserole over the top of the peppers. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.

House Seasoning:

1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months

My husband only commented that he would like less sour cream added but everyone else loved them! I added some vodca sauce... to the tops of them at the end and they really loved them. Read more

These Are The Best!

This recipe Rocks! I do cut the peppers in half, like the recipe says; but sorta blanch the peppers first like some of the... others said for 5 minutes or until tender with a fork. The only reason for this, is this, is how I made them and EVERYONE likes them this way! My next door people and us, absoulutely love them a little more tender! We are talking, people "who, don't like stuffed peppers!" Love you, Paula!Read more

A Keeper....
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I usually eat low carb, so the only adjustment I made was I put a couple tablespoons of rice in the bottom of my husband's... peppers and then added the meat over it. I left the rice out of mine. We both will certainly eat this again and my husband is not a 'fan' of stuffed peppers. Read more
