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

The Perfect Pepper!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these the other day and froze all but 1. This recipie is fabulous, easy and does well in the freezer. I changed 2... minor things due to what I had on hand. I used regular salsa and grated cheese and I used more beef/pork and rice than the recipe called for. I would definetly give it a try. Thanks for another amazing recipie Paula!Read more

What no BUTTER?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this tonight and it was fantastic, I have leftovers for lunch too (always a good thing). I didn't use the ground... pork, just didn't have any, I would also suggest that you watch how much salt goes into this dish it contains salty soy sauce and beef boullion plus more salt..........mine wasn't salty but I didn't use as much as called for. PAULA IS GREAT, topped this off with her rice pudding for dessert........OH MY.......Larry, DenverRead more

This pepper recipe is the PITS. STEER CLEAR.
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Surprisingly, I found this recipe quite bland and not all that great, considering how long it took to prepare and how much... all the ingredients cost (around $45 for everything). After surveying the list of ingredients prior to cooking, I was sure this would be pretty close to a gourmet-tasting meal, as most of Paula's other dishes are very tasty and rarely disappoint. This particular recipe, however, fell COMPLETELY flat in terms of both taste and cost effectiveness per meal. All I could really taste when eating it were the peppers themselves with the FAINTEST hint of the beef mix. Overall, not worth the time it took to prepare it, or the price and I would definitely recommend trying a different recipe of Paula's as opposed to this one. Steer clear. Read more

We loved it!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didnt have any jarred cheese so I used Gouda cheese, diced. And instead of Rice I used Orzo. I also added more Gouda the... last few minutes of baking...I baked it 30 min. @ 350 and 10 more minutes after I added the extra Gouda. These were by far the best stuffed peppers that I ever had. Thanks Paula!!Read more
