HERBED FETA STUFFED MINI BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Cut the tops off the mini bell peppers and take out the seeds and larger white veins; rinse out with water, then set aside.
• Put the crumbled feta cheese in a bowl and add the sherry; toss to coat.
• Mix together well the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl, then add the mixture to the feta cheese and toss to mix them all well.
• Spray a large casserole dish (I use a large oval white Corning Ware) with an olive oil mister or pan spray.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Stuff each mini bell pepper with the herbed feta mixture, making sure there's a good amount of feta in each pepper; place peppers in the casserole dish.
• When all peppers are stuffed, place cover on casserole dish and bake in oven for 30 to 45 minutes until peppers are nice and soft and the cheese is melted. If too much of the cheese melts out of the peppers, use a spoon to put it back in. :)
• Serve and enjoy!

STUFFED BELL PEPPERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
• In a skillet, cook the beef over medium heat until browned.
• Cut out the tops of the bell peppers. Clean out the seeds and any membranes. Then arrange the peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides face up. (If needed, you can slice off the bottom so they stand upright.)
• In a bowl, combine the cooked rice, browned beef, 1 can tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion and garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Fill each bell pepper to the top. In a bowl, mix together the remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning. Pour as a topping over the stuffed peppers.
• Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven until the peppers are tender. Baste each pepper with sauce every 15 minutes in order to keep it moist.

MEXICAN STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Brown the ground beef in a large fry pan over medium high heat for 5 minutes or until cooked almost through. Add the onion cook until softened, about 5 more minutes. Stir in the jarred salsa, chile powder, and cumin. Add the white rice and water, season with kosher salt and bring to a boil, then reduce to medium low. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender, adding more water if necessary. When the rice is tender, fold in 3/4 of the chopped cilantro, reserving some for garnish.
• While the meat and rice are cooking, cut off the tops of the peppers, spoon out the ribs and seeds, then rinse. Lightly sprinkle the inside of the peppers with kosher salt and place in a microwave safe dish with 1/4 cup water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 5 minutes or until they soften but still hold their shape.
• Transfer the peppers to a 3 quart baking dish. Fill the peppers with the hot meat and rice mixture.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes or until peppers are tender. Sprinkle with cheese and heat for an additional minute or two until the cheese has melted. Garnish with the chopped cilantro and sour cream if you'd like, and serve.

SEAFOOD STUFFED BELL PEPPERS RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Cut tops off bell peppers, wash them, and remove seeds. Par boil them in a large pot of salted water for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. In a large skillet, sauté crawfish, shrimp, onions, bell pepper, garlic, and celery in butter for 10 minutes. Add crab meat, Cajun seasoning, salt, and hot sauce and cook for 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and add bread crumbs and 1 cup of cheese and mix thoroughly. Stuff the par boiled bell peppers with this mixture and top with left over cheese. Place the stuffed peppers in a shallow baking dish, and add about a cup of water, or enough to cover bottom of dish, and bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. If you don't have crawfish tails, this dish is just as good with only the shrimp and crab meat

STUFFED BELL PEPPERS, GREEK STYLE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion and ground lamb; cook and stir until the onion is tender, and the meat is no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Stir in the rice, salt, black pepper, and mint; cook 5 minutes longer. Add the water and parsley. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the water has been completely absorbed by the rice, about 15 minutes. Stir the chicken broth and diced tomatoes together in an oven-proof dish that will just fit the peppers. Scoop the lamb mixture into the bell peppers, and place them into the dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the peppers are tender and the tomatoes are bubbly, about 45 minutes.

Crumble the ground lamb into the mixture; season with the oregano, basil, and salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the lamb is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir the orzo, spinach, tomatoes, tomato paste, and feta cheese into the lamb mixture until evenly incorporated.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Evenly rub the outside of the bell peppers and the tops with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a baking dish large enough to accommodate all of them standing upright. Fill the peppers with the lamb mixture and replace the tops.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the peppers begin to brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
