Make it Monday Recipe: Simple Un-Stuffed Peppers

This “go to” recipe has been a family favorite for many years. It was originally adapted from a Tupperware Stack Cooker cookbook.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups Family Favorite Rice Mixture – find my family favorite rice recipe on this post here>>
• 3/4 pound ground beef
• 1/4 of a chopped onion (about 1/2 cup)
• 1 stalk of celery (about 1/2 cup)
• 1 (8) oz can stewed tomatoes (un-drained)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (choose any you like)
• Salt & Pepper to taste (about 1/2 t. salt, 1/4 t. pepper)
• 2-3 Peppers cut in half or thirds (Green, Red or Yellow, whatever you like)

Brown hamburger with onion, celery, salt & pepper. Drain off fat if necessary.

Mix in rice, tomatoes and cheese. Today, I used a Pizza mix cheese (Mozzarella, Provolone, Parmesan & Romano) because that’s what I had on hand. This recipe is delicious with cheddar blends as well.

At this point, you can stop and bag it up for the freezer. I often double the recipe and save one for later.

Put mixture in a microwave safe casserole. Yep, microwave! Top with peppers. Cover and microwave on high for 15 – 20 minutes. Until peppers are tender. To serve, spoon mixture over peppers. Top with additional cheese if desired.

And, I would be neglect in my blog, if I didn’t mention the Hindoe rice coupon here. Use it at Smith’s or Walmart to get a great deal on a rice.
