Equipment

  • oven
  • Pot
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

Bell Peppers

  • 12-14 pieces Bell Peppers (Assorted Colors)

Meat and Rice Filling

  • 3 lbs Ground Beef 20% fat works best
  • 2 cups Rice I use Uncle Ben's Original Long Grain White Rice
  • 1 cup Chopped Yellow Onions
  • 3 cups Ketchup
  • 2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Celery Salt
  • 2 cups Chicken Stock

To Serve

  • Sour Cream to serve

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut across the tops of each bell pepper. Scoop out and discard the seeds and veins. Keep the tops. The tops make for a cute decoration.
  • Mix the ground beef, rice, onion, 2 cups of the ketchup, salt, onion powder, pepper, and celery salt in a bowl.
  • Stuff each bell pepper with the ground beef mixture. It’s okay if you pack the stuffing in the peppers.
  • Divide the bell peppers between two pots.
  • Mix the remaining 1 cup ketchup with the chicken stock. Pour over and around the bell peppers.

Cooking

  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If baking both pots at the same time, it will take about 2 hrs and 30 minutes to 2 hrs and 45 minutes. If baking only one of the pots, reduce the baking time by about 15 to 20 minutes.

Serving

  • Serve warm with a generous dollop of Sour Cream on top and enjoy the deliciousness!

Notes

This recipe produces between 12 to 14 stuffed bell peppers. If cooking for fewer people, you can cut the ingredients in half.
