āItalian Stuffed Pepperā Recipe
Welcome to:
Hello Steemians š
Stuffed Bell Pepper is one of the dishes that I love to make specially during Autumn and winter. I first tried this in an Italian restaurant few years ago with our friends and when I love a dish that Iāve tried for the first time, I always want to make it on my own.
Bell peppers are large which make them perfect for stuffing and they also taste really good when roasted. Itās like roasting jalapeƱos with their delicious flavor but without the spiciness. Itās also a versatile dish. You can have it for lunch, dinner, and even as a snack.
There are also different versions of making bell peppers. From the form of halving, it can be halve vertical or horizontal. For stuffing, it can be vegetarian or the traditional way (ground beef, tomato sauce, rice amd cheeze on top). I love mine with more vegetables so I added carrots and potatoes for the meat and sauce mixture. An extra cheeze topping after baking for more cheeziness!
Letās go and make it!
Cuisine: Italian
Time preparation: 30 minutes
Baking Time: 40 minutes
Serving: 3 persons
Difficulty Medium
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 large bell peppers (seeded & halved)
- 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
- 200g Minced beef
- finely grated cheddar cheese
- 8 ounce can tomato sauce
- 1 medium potato (diced)
- 1 small carrot (diced)
- 5 cloves garlic minced (minced)
- 1 onion (sliced)
- salt and pepper
- chives for garnish
- 1 cup water
METHOD
- Rice prep: Rinse the rice with water. Boil over high heat and reduce to medium-low. Cover with a lid and simmer until itās cooked and the liquid totally absorbed (15 -20 minutes).
Peppers: While the rice is cooking, cut the head of the peppers where the stem is and remove the seeds. Clean with water, path dry and place in a baking dish later where they can fit perfectly.
In a saucepan with one tablespoon of oil over medium heat, place the ground beef, break them into pieces using spatula and sautĆ©. Once itās brown, remove the excess oil or fats from the beef. Add another olive oil, then the onions followed by the garlic and mix all together.
Put the carrots and potatoes and combine well until they are soften for about 5 minutes.
Finally add in the tomato sauce. Stir until combined and simmer for 5 minutes.
Now add on the rice, combine and were done with the meat & sauce rice mixture.
Preheat the oven to 225 degrees Celsius and move on to the fun part!
Stuffing the peppers: Generously stuff the 3 peppers with the meat sauce rice mixture, topped with the grated cheeze and bake for 40 minutes.
Itās done when you can see that cheezy crust and that roasty texture. Garnish with more cheese and chives!
I transferred the remaining meat vege sauce rice mixture to the plate and topped the stuffed pepper for serving.
Meaty, saucy, peppery and cheezy! So tasty!
Hubby always love it.
Highly recommended.
Untill next time!

Hello @steemflow, yes, the process has 3 stages. From the rice, to making the sauce and the baking but itās just easy and fun.
It can be spicy too!
Thanks for the nice comment & have a lovely day!

This looks super tasty. I used to eat bell peppers all the time as a snack. Usually I just dipped them in hummus or cooked them when I was making tacos. I think I also, once or twice, had them stuffed though. Your recipe looks quite good! And it doesn't look too complicated, it seems like something I could make (which is saying a lot for a single guy who doesn't know how to cook š).
Thanks for sharing your recipe! I may have to give this a whirl and see if I can spice up my at home menu. Cheers!

hello there @joyrobinson, I can feel how tasty your stuffed paprika from its look, but anyway.. if you use 3 different colour of paprika, isn't it has different taste itself? the red must be more sweeter than the yellow and green one right? aahhh.. I really want to re-cook this recipe though. Thanks for sharing and congratulations for the curie pick!
This is one of the favorite dishes in my family too :) Thank you for sharing !
Nice to know that @madlenfox ā¤ļø
Itās simply delicious
That looks really delicious, actually I knew this type of dish, but we call it Bulgarian stuffed pepper, also using rice, minced meat and onion. Usually prepare vegetable stock with some spices just as you like, cook in Wok and then place the peppers and cook for about 30 min. But I never thought about using cheese and cook then in oven. May be that is something I need to try I love all ingredients and of course I like to experiment in my kitchen. Thank you for the process steps and photographs.
Yes, there are different versions of stuffed pepper also. Iām a cheeze lover so I love it witht more cheeze on top.
hop youāll give it a try!
Have a nice day!
