Peppered Stuff


My mom used to make stuffed peppers--rice, hamburger, various seasonings mixed in and into the bell peppers. Used to. Of the seven kids in my family, maybe one would taste a pepper, but none of us would actually eat one. After a few attempts at this, my mom started stuffing only three or four peppers and filling the rest of the pan with only the rice and hamburger. And, over time, she gave up on stuffing the peppers all together and instead peppered the stuff.

Ingredients:

1-2 bell peppers
1 lb. hamburger
3 cups uncooked rice
onion, salt, pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Cook the rice as directed.

2. Brown the hamburger. Season as desired. Add chopped peppers and onions.

3. Combine rice and hamburger mixture in 9 x 13 pan.


4. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes, until rice on top is crispy.


Variations:

Add tomato soup or taco seasoning before putting it into the oven.

Top the final dish with barbeque or hot sauce. I myself prefer ketchup. :)
