Hi I am looking for good stuffed pepers. A friend of mine used to make them for my daughter and I but she has moved away. And my daughter is asking for them.
Thanks

Then bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 5 minutes. Put the tomatillo sauce on plate, and then place the pepper over the sauce. The black bean salad should be on one side and Pico di Gallo on the other. Drizzle with sour cream and serve.

Stuffed Green Peppers

1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 cups crushed tomatoes (I use 1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes), undrained
1 cup water
1/2 cup rice (converted, or any regular Extra Long Grain rice, uncooked
2 1/2 teaspoons paprika, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 medium green peppers,whole or 4 large size, cut in halves
1 ( 14.5 oz.) can tomato sauce (I use 2 (8 ounce) cans)
1 can (10 1/2 oz) condensed tomato soup

Cut the tops off the green peppers and clean out the seeds and ribs. Microwave upside down on paper toweling on High for 5 minutes. Or, parboil in a small amount of water in a dutch oven on stovetop for 5 minutes. Drain peppers and tops well. Let cool.
Brown beef, onion and garlic. Drain off excess fat. Add tomatoes and 1 cup water, bring to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Add paprika, salt and pepper to taste. Stuff peppers with this mixture.
Place filled pepers in lightly greased baking dish. Top with the pre-cooked pepper tops. Mix tomato sauce and tomato soup together in medium size bowl. Add 1/2 cup water. Mix well. Pour tomato sauce mixture over peppers. Season with a little more salt and pepper, if desired. Bake covered at 350*F. for 45 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes or until peppers are tender and filling is well cooked. Serves 8. Cooking time depends on the width of peppers. Halved peppers cook through in the center more quickly. Sauce is delicious over spaghetti. Also good served with mashed potatoes and corn.

Enjoy,
