Stuffed Bell Pepper Rings Recipe
"I use pepper rings instead of the usual whole peppers; since it takes less time to bake, there is more meat taste instead of mostly peppers, and they look so pretty on the plate, in my opinion. I love using colored peppers for a fun visual effect! Serve with sour cream, Greek-style sour cream, or nonfat yogurt."
Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine ground beef, rice, onion, eggs, corn, carrot, 1 tablespoon olive oil, bread crumbs, pesto, parsley, 1 tablespoon dill, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
- Chop any remaining yellow bell pepper pieces and place them in the bottom of a baking dish. Add the remaining olive oil, tomatoes, pasta sauce, chicken broth, green onions, and remaining dill.
- Arrange yellow bell pepper rings in the baking dish and fill with the beef-rice mixture. Spoon the pasta sauce mixture on top to cover. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and continue baking until beef is browned and peppers are still crunchy-soft, about 20 minutes more.
Footnotes
- Cook’s Notes:
- You can substitute any ground meat for the sirloin.
- Use dill paste in place of dill weed if desired.
- Use any color bell pepper you prefer.
- If you don’t have sun-dried tomato pesto, ketchup or pasta sauce will work as well.
- You may need to double the proportions of sauce depending on the size of your baking dish.
