This is my mom’s recipe for stuffed bell peppers. This recipe is very dear to my heart, as it is something that my mom would always make growing up. She was literally the best cook I knew. I’m not just saying that because she’s my mom, well maybe…But, people would literally travel to buy her dishes because they were that good! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as everyone I know has.
Jump to RecipeThe Ingredients:
Bell peppers: Traditionally, my mom always used green bell peppers, but I like to mix it up sometimes by using red and yellow peppers. I just love the color and sweetness of them.
Ground Beef: I feel like this is a preference. I prefer to use an 80/20 mix, but 90/10 works here too.
Onion: White or yellow onions are fine to use.
Garlic: The more garlic the better is what I say!
Rice: I love using Jasmine rice, but white long-grain rice is perfectly fine. You could even use parboiled rice such as Mahatma or Ben’s. If you are trying to stay with healthier options, sub out rice altogether for brown rice or quinoa.
Bread Crumbs: Any bread crumbs will work. I usually just use whatever I have on hand.
Herbs: Mom used an Italian herb blend, but I always have dried oregano on hand. Feel free to use either.
Seasoning: Garlic powder, Onion powder, salt and pepper is all you need here.
