    I LOVE stuffed bell peppers and I haven't had them in years. (My household doesn't like them). Cool recipe. I have to say … sometimes you're such a nut. Jack-o-lantern bell peppers. Who'd a thunk. Very cute.

    When we make stuffed peppers, we use either hamburger or bulk sausage mixed with dry Minute Rice (it cooks during the baking), chopped mushrooms, chopped onions, minced garlic, smoked paprika, an egg or two and enough V8 to make the filling pretty sloppy. We fill the peppers, and if we run out of peppers, we use the rest of the filling to stuff cabbage leaves. We place all the peppers and cabbage rolls (if applicable) into a roasting pan. Then we add some flour and seasonings to the rest of the bottle of V8 (we usually use the low sodium kind), and pour that over the peppers and cabbage rolls. We bake it covered on 350°F till the peppers test done. Then we drain off the V8 mixture and thicken it more if necessary, and serve the peppers and cabbage rolls with the resultant red gravy. We ALSO occasionally stuff OTHER things like onions, squash, or tomatoes too.

    I LOVE your faces on them!! We are stuff peppered out though. Had a bumper crop this year. I've got enough frozen for two years. I even canned some. (Rebel canning) Try you some Asian inspired stuffed peppers. Super yummy twist on stuffed peppers. Also, I miss Jaimie*.

    So funny, I just made four stuffed peppers today! I use ground chuck, a spaghetti sauce, rice, garlic pepper, onion powder, Italian spice and sugar. You can parboil your peppers for less time cooking. I actually freeze them for future meals. I put saran wrap and quick freeze and then seal them with my food saver. I do the same for my spaghetti sauce and meat loafs. Qick easy meals made ahead. Enjoyed your recipe.

    Great idea and they look delicious..I love all the ingredients you used so I'm sure the final product would be great. You could use the. left over stuffing for quesadillas or nacho topping. Endless possibilities. Good to see you enjoying the kitchen you worked so hard to create.

    I make stuffed bell peppers a lot. I used 1 lb ground beef, 1- 1 1/2 cups rice, 1 qt or 2 store bought cans of tomatoes, about 3/4 cup diced onion, 3/4 cup diced bell pepper (or just what is cut off the tops when you core them if you prefer), salt and pepper to taste. I roast my peppers first to get them tender and sweet, but not so cooked they wont stand on their own. While those are roasting I make my rice, but dont cook it fully tender either, set it aside. In brown the ground beef, then drain it. Add to the beef the tomatoes, peppers, onions salt and pepper and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes to marry the flavor. Mix the rice in with the beef mixture and stir. It should be loose and almost wet. Remove the roasted peppers and stuff them with the beef and rice mixture, any additional fill can be put in the casserole pan around the now stuffed peppers for support and just because its tasty. Cover with foil and roast another 15 mins or so. Then remove the foil, cover with shredded cheese and roast another 10 to 15 mins. Note if the rice mixture isnt wet enough before stuffing the peppers, once stuffed add water, broth or tomato juice to moisten to finish cooking the rice in the oven.
