Hey guys it’s Danny now this year my hubby and I planted a small vegetable garden in the backyard and one of the veggies that we planted was bell peppers so I thought it would be the perfect time to show you guys how to make my mom’s clean and delicious Italian style

Stuffed peppers now this was a meal that I grew up eating and it was one of my favorite meals that my mom made so it makes me really happy to now get to make it for my family and for you guys who are like my extended family it is a

Wonderful family meal because it makes a lot of food and it’s also a great Head Start ingredient to make on the weekend when you’re doing the rest of your meal prep now it’s a very simple recipe but there are a few steps involved so let me

Show you how it’s done now the very first thing I do is get a nice big pot of water coming to a boil on my stove then while my water is heating up I like to prep my peppers first thing I do is lay them on their side and just trim off

The tops these make a great little snack for the chef then I slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out all of the seeds now this recipe is going to use anywhere between 6 & 8 peppers depending on their size then I take a 9 by 11

Glass baking dish and I scoop a half a cup of canned tomato sauce down on the bottom of the dish and just spread that around a bit now I like buying the sauce that already has a little bit of garlic and basil in it because it adds more

Flavor without needing to add an additional step once my water is at a boil I gently drop my pepper halves into the pot and set my timer for five minutes this is going to take that raw edge off the peppers and ensure that they are nice and tender

Then once the peppers are done I use some tongs to take them out and I like to let them cool on a clean dish towel and while my peppers are cooling I’m going to work on the stuffing I’ve got a large nonstick saute pan heating up over

A medium-high heat and to that I’m going to add just a teaspoon of olive oil you really just need enough olive oil to get the veggies started once that oil has heated up I’m adding in one chopped onion and four cloves of chopped garlic give that

Pinch of salt and let it cook for about five minutes until the onion and the garlic are beginning to look translucent next I’m going to push all those veggies to one side of the pan because let’s be honest who wants a dirty another pan and

I’m going to add in 1 pound of lean grass-fed ground beef I’m going to season that with a little bit more salt and some black pepper and then I’m just going to break it up a bit and I’m going to let it cook stirring it occasionally for about five

Minutes or so until the meat is nice and browned up on the outside and then I’ll also start mixing the veggies into the meat then when it’s all browned up and it’s all mixed together I like to stir in 2 cups of cooked brown rice one cup

Of frozen peas I don’t defrost them I put them right in their frozen and two more cups of the canned tomato sauce gently stir that all together and then I’m just going to let this simmer on the stove for about 10 minutes or so to let all those flavors come together quick

Tip for you guys the next time you’re at the grocery store look for brown rice in the freezer section frozen brown rice is a super convenient ingredient to have on hand because it cooks in the microwave in literally two minutes so it is a huge help when time

Is not on your side and now I’m just going to shut off the heat let the filling cool down just a little bit and then I’m going to stuff the peppers now each pepper gets about a half a cup of the filling depending on the size of the

Pepper and then once I have it stuffed I just line them up in my baking tray and then I’ll just keep going until I’ve got all the peppers stuffed then to finish them off I add another dollop of tomato sauce right on the top of the pepper

That’s going to help keep it nice and moist while it’s cooking and then just about a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese over the top you’re going to do that until you’ve got all your peppers ready to go now from here you have two options you could cover this up and

Leave it in the fridge until you are ready to cook it you could leave it in the fridge for a couple days if you wanted to make it ahead of time or if you’re ready to cook it now you just to put it into a 350 degree oven for 30

Minutes or until they are heated through and your cheese has melted over the top mmm I love a combination of the ground beef with the rice and then the populists peas and the tender pepper and of course that melty cheese on top this literally brings me right back to my

Childhood I can tell you this is a recipe from my family to yours so I really hope you guys get to give this one a try and when you do snap a picture and then tag me on instagram in facebook and let me see the deliciousness that

You are whipping up in your very own kitchens now if you guys want to print this recipe make sure you head on over to clean and delicious calm where you can print this and all my recipes and thank you so much for watching i’m danny Spees and i’ll see you next time with

Some more clean and deliciousness Cheers now the very first thing I do is get a nice big pot of oil once my water is boiling I gently drop my peppers into the pot and let it cook for about five minutes until you and let it cook for about five

Minutes until the onions and garlic’s are begin garlic’s

  1. can i freeze them??
    i read in one of the comments that u can but i dont have a vacuum for that 😏
    can i just freze them in a regular container??
    oohh i love this recipe btw 😊😊👍🏽👍🏽

  2. I make mine the same just without peas, but I add a small pinch of brown sugar to help with the acidity of the canned tomatoes. an I add lots more mozzarella cheese… hope that helps some of you all.

  3. make it simple delicious, no baking, just fresh pepper goes better I think. because it will keep all vitamins minerals we needed.
    my later jobs must related how to become more and more blissed…:)

  4. you always do that "uh, uh, uh" after you taste all of your food hahah all same reaction

  5. I feel you could take this to a whole new level but appreciate you breaking it down for us simple folks looking to start. I don't understand boiling the pepper though, unless you are trying to reduce the heat of a pepper or infuse a dish or oil with its flavor why cook out the freshness?

  6. Such an unusual way to make stuffed peppers. In my country we make it very differently. I will try this 😀

  7. You are my favorite YouTuber and your videos are always so helpful!! Thank you for sharing this recipe. I am gonna make this tomorrow!!! 😊

  8. Hi!Can someone Tell me please what kind of meat she used because I am not a native English speaker and I can’t understand what she said.Thank you😊

  9. It's not very Italian when you add Cheddar Cheese. Its. Looks good though. I would have added Parmesan or Mozzarella instead.

  10. I love it when people transform childhood recipes in healthy ways; stuffed peppers are sort of ubiquitous all over Europe; in my case it was 'Hungarian' stuffed peppers which frankly were the same as our Italian neighbours. (My Dad was Serbian). I went vegan and can do a vegan version— loved the peas and convenience! — and also stuff halves instead of whole peppers; prep same, etc. My non-vegan stuffing is tx to a Macedonian butcher (I'm mostly vegan, my sis mostly keto, go figure) where my sis gets hand-prepared seriously flavourful, spicy Macedonian sausage from grass-fed beef. I take the casing off and honestly, the meat seasoning is done. I like the hint of fennel seeds and the heat and the herbs … brown rice, we're good; vegis I incorporate finely mirepoix=ed , not a word; carrot, lots of garlic, onion, fennel bulb and some smashed walnuts for crunch. I make my own sauce, which is homemade marinara, some emphasis on rosemary oregano ( basil held back until the end), plus an additional 2 slow roasted red bell peppers, not charred, put in a bag, and skin peeled over a colander (I keep any juice retained by roasted peppers). Blend up; incorporate the right amount in the filling and the rest on top. Using this method, everything is already cooked, so the oven is just to re-heat. Hope this makes sense; vr easy to freeze, I eat this version once in a blue moon but I could market this stuff; when I have people over and serve as relaxed main dish plus salad everyone wants a freezer doggie bag — heats up well and quickly in microwave. I love your version; food is memory and love, great dish!

  11. I've also froze these. Frozen solid on a cookie sheet then wrapped individually and just put them unwrapped and uncovered into the oven and cook when ready to eat.

  12. Xnay to the frozen peas, canned tomato sauce & cheddar cheese for moi, but otherwise this is basically how I make my stuffed peppers. Yum!

  13. Any suggestions for a replacement for the peas? Love your recipes & we are healthy eaters we just don’t do peas!

  14. Any suggestions for replacing the peas with a different vege? It’s the one veggie I’ve never liked! Zucchini? Broccoli?🤔

  15. I made this last night and it was so good. Even my son loved it. I changed the tomato sauce for organic pasta sauce, cauliflower rice instead of brown rice and no peas. Used red and yellow peppers because that’s what we had on hand. I also used different cheeses – I made a few with Parmesan, mozzarella, cheddar and habanero. So good, will definitely make again.

  16. Dani please do more pepper recipes. How about poblanos and other peppers? Peppers are low calorie and offer a lot of flavour, fibre, nutrients.

  17. Dani: Your recipe has been hijacked here. The link takes you out of YouTube to something other than your recipe. Sad . . . I'd really like to get this recipe.
