When you think of classic comfort food does Stuffed Peppers come to mind?

Our list of comfort food ranges from chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes to meatloaf and everything in between.

But one of our absolute favorite, heart and soul satisfying meals, is garden fresh stuffed peppers.

Every late July and through the entire month of August we get inundated with bell peppers that are ready to harvest in our garden. It seems like they all ripen at once and we begin to search for various ways to use them.

We slice them up and use them for salads, fajitas, soups, stews and more. However, there is nothing better than using a half-dozen of them at once to make stuffed peppers!

Stuffed peppers are so versatile as you can add almost any ingredient to the mixture. We add in whatever veggies we have on hand or need to use up!

When the bell peppers have been picked, we typically have extra zucchini and carrots to use up as well. However, you could add in diced mushrooms, leftover corn or even black beans to the filling.

The choices are really endless! To keep things a little healthier, we will often substitute ground chicken in place of the ground beef.

If you don’t have ground chicken, it is easy to make your own! Just take a couple of chicken breasts, dice them into large chunks and put them in your food processor. We use the Hamilton Beach Duo Food Processor and it works perfect for this!

A few pulses later, and you have ground chicken at a much less cost than what you can buy it at the grocery store!

However you choose to fill your stuffed peppers I am sure you will enjoy them as much as we do!

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups marinara sauce
  • 6 bell peppers (any color will do)
  • 1 pound 4 ounces ground beef
  • 1 sweet onion, minced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¾ cup cooked rice
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground mustard
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup shredded Jack cheese


Instruction

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Pour the marinara sauce into the base of a medium-size oven-safe skillet.
  2. Trim a little bit from the base of each pepper so it sits flat. Cut the top off each pepper; remove and discard the ribs and seeds.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix the beef with the onion, garlic, rice, paprika, oregano, mustard, parsley, salt and pepper to combine.
  4. Stuff the meat mixture into each pepper, filling almost to the rim. Transfer the peppers to the prepared skillet, standing them on top of the sauce.
  5. Garnish each pepper with 1½ tablespoons cheese. Bake until the peppers are tender and the meat is fully cooked, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately, with a scoop of sauce.
