Recipe: Stuffed Green Peppers (Great American Recipe Cards)

Hi Linda. I hope this helps. I have the Great American Recipe cards.....not exactly what you mentioned but maybe this is close. It doesn't include pouring tomato sauce over the top of the green peppers but I always add a can of tomato soup over the top anyway.

Stuffe Green Peppers

For 4 servings you will need:
4 large even shaped green peppers

Filling:
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup cooked rice
1 onion
1/2 cup celery
1 egg
3 tbsp half-and-half
3 tbsp chopped parsley
3/4 cup tomato sauce
1/2 tsp salt
dash ground black pepper
dash cayenne pepper

Wash peppers. Cut off tops at stem ends. Remove seeds and membrane. Reserve tops

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, the rice, onion, celery and egg. Blend well. Add half-and-half, parsley, tomato sauce, salt and peppers. Mix to blend well.

Place green pepers in an ovenproof dish,large enough to hold peppers upright. Fill green peppers with meaat mixture, mounding a little on top of each. Filling will shrink while baking

Bake at 400 degrees F. for about 35 min. or until filling is set and cooked through and peppers are tender. Serve immediately.
