Stuffed Peppers

peppersI love stuffed peppers and what I don’t love is all the prep work and time it take to make them. Here is a very easy and quick way to make delicious stuffed peppers with your Mama Mancini’s Beef or Turkey Meatballs and Sauce.
You’ll need:
  • 1 4 meatballs fully thawed meatballs
  • 12 ounces of sauce fully thawed sauce
  • 1  cup cooked white rice
  • 4 bell peppers red, green, yellow or orange or a mix
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup of water

 

Directions:

  1. Pre heat your oven to 400 degrees
  2. Remove the tops of the peppers and clean all the seeds and ribs out of the inside
  3. Place the peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes
  4. Carefully remove them and allow them to drain on a towel upside down
  5. In a large bowl crush the meatballs into the sauce then mix in the cooked rice, shredded mozzarella and the Romano cheese
  6. Stuff the peppers, then put them in a 9″x12″ baking pan with 1/2 cup of water
  7. Cover with tin foil and bake for 30 minutes or for a well done pepper bake for 45 minutes
  8. Remove and drizzle the olive oil on the peppers

 

Tips:

  • You can substitute the cooked white rice with cooked quinoa!
  • You can freeze the un baked Stuffed Peppers to use another day, just thaw fully and bake till done.
  • Remember everything going into these stuffed peppers is fully cooked to start with.

 

I hope you love these stuffed peppers!
