Recently got the urge for some and got a Stouffer package of them. Good but
rather expensive. Next time will make my own. Any tips?

TIA

for you.

They're super easy to make. I don't really use a recipe. Just hollowed out
peppers, some cooked rice, ground beef, Italian seasonings and some form of
tomato sauce to cover. Cheese is good in there too. You can add other
veggies like onions and beans. Bake until heated through and peppers are
cooked. Some people par boil the peppers. I don't.

My FIL hated rice so I did his with mashed potatoes, cheese and tomato
sauce.

No real tips but I did spot the Stouffer ones last week and
as you said, a bit expensive.

Easy to make. Look up a few recipes then pick and choose
your ingredients. Takes a bit of time to make 4 but well
worth the effort.

My tip? I do parboil the empty peppers first. Just 5 minutes
in boiling water then fill. Pick large green peppers.

The filling is simple. Basics are -
- cooked ground beef with onion (worcestershire sauce too)
- rice
- tomato sauce (all in this mix, not some poured on top)
- bit of garlic, salt and pepper
- topped with mozz cheese then baked for a bit

Expensive? With that many ingredients? Want a list?

Ground beef solo is good as far as the meat component goes. I also like them with a mix of beef and pork, or just pork.

My tip; slice peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds... leave the
half stem. Each pepper will give two canoes to fill... the half stems
will keep your canoes from leaking. Fill with whatever floats your
boat... I usually do seasoned ground beef and pork 50/50. Sometimes
potato latka filling... sometimes fill with Italian saw-seege.
I never add any rice, thats for the cheapskates.

I've seen them cooked like that and they do look really good and seem to be
able to feed more than 4 people if you're using 4 bell peppers.
