How to Make One More Stuffed Peppers Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut 1 inch off the stem end of 4-6 peppers. Remove seeds and membranes thoroughly.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 cup of tomato sauce, 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (add less for milder heat), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Gently mix all ingredients in the bowl until well combined.
  5. Fill each pepper evenly with the meat mixture.
  6. Place the stuffed peppers in an 8x8-inch baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
  7. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup tomato sauce evenly over the peppers.
  8. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
