Throwback Thursday – (Un)Stuffed Peppers!
Serves 4
Some version of stuffed peppers exists in every culture that grows pepper, but the version most Americans are familiar with is the classic rice and ground beef mixture stuffed into a bell pepper and baked in the oven. The earliest printed version of the recipe goes back to the Boston Cooking-School Cookbook in 1896!
This easy recipe gives you the *flavor* of stuffed peppers with a lot less work!
You will need:
1 package of beef patties
1 bag of frozen pepper stir-fry mix
2 cups of beef broth
1 cup of white rice
1 cup of pasta sauce of choice
1 can of diced tomatoes
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
Brown and crumble beef patties, rinse and drain, then fry together with thawed and drained pepper stir-fry. Add 1 cup of white rice and toast for 3 to 5 minutes.
Add 1 cup of beef broth, drained diced tomatoes, and 1 cup of pasta sauce. Stir and bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to rest undisturbed for 15 to 20 additional minutes. Top with cheese and cover until the cheese has melted.

I am all for more affordable recipes that don't require the oven! This looks so good, and I'm adding this into my menu rotation for sure. I don't buy ground beef at all, so I'll either do the sausage or ground turkey. 😊
Yum Yum, Getcha Some !!!!
That looks good.
That looks delicious 😋
I make a killer chili from the dollar store. One pound 85/15 frozen beef. One can corn, one can black beans, one can diced tomatoes and chilies. Two big bottles of tomato sauce, ragu or whatever, a pack of chili seasoning and a jar of sliced jalapenos. I add all the sauce to a big pot with water 2:1. While that's cooking down I cook my beef. Salt, pepper, adobo. When that's almost done I add the corn beans and tomatoes and chilies to the beef and let it finish. Add the chili seasoning to the sauce and then add the beef etc.. to the sauce pot after it's reduced a bit then cook til reduced to desired thickness. Literally a 15 dollar meal that lasts a whole week. It's definitely a struggle meal but it a good one.
I bet this would be good on tortillas as tacos too
Basically, this is like my Mom's version of Spanish rice growing up.
I have all these things. Thank you ❤
That looks so delicious, thanks. I'll make it this weekend.
Yum 😋
Yummm! This looks so good
I love stuffed bell peppers but never thought about going the skillet rout. Thank you!
I make this all the time.
Try using a ground turkey,I like to make it a Spanish rice and like to add peppers,onions, black beans,and even corn. And top with salsa or homemade Pico! 😋😋😋
My dollar tree doesn't have the beef patties 😢
Ma’am you look particularly gorgeous in this video ❤ I’m thankful for not having to have a budget for my meals but I love watching your videos, taking inspiration from them.
Great one Rebecca. I don't have teeth atm but that's something I could eat easily.
This is honestly genius
The beef patties from DT have beef hearts.
This looks delicious. I think I’ll sub in chicken since I’ve got some I need to use up.
Your lighting is diff on this video. My mom used to cook a stuffed peppers when I was a kids. I prefer the stuffing with out the peppers! 😅
i have made stuffed peppers for 65 yrs, never had cheese on it..but the casserole has been the better option at family get togethers..and of course the cabbage casserole.
Yes!….. 🤗😋
This reminds me of what my family used to eat when I was little. We would just add ground beef to our arroz to make it a full meal
I have been a fan and dedicated viewer for years, thanks so much for your helpful content!
Now I have a question, I see bell peppers used so often in recipes, not just yours but other channels as well. I can’t eat peppers, so what would you suggest as a substitute? I mean, they are in everything, frozen meals as well. 😑
I been making this dish for about 2 decades or so it is so yummy. This is the only way I could get my children to eat their veggies I diced them a little smaller. As a matter of fact I’m preparing to make over the wkend. I went shopping the other day just to make this meal. With some garlic butter toast.
It would be easy to add in canned corn or beans, too, if you want extra veg. Looks good, an easy, no fuss one pan dish.
I make cabbage rolls this way sometimes too when i just dont wanna roll n roll n roll. 😂❤
I NEED to try this. Looks so flavorful
I think it is a shame you don't have more subscribers. Your recipes are so great, creative and inexpensive. Who doesn't want real, affordable food and recipes to go along with it. Keep up the great work. I really enjoy your recipes and videos.
If you used cabbage and onions instead of peppers and onions, it would be like cabbage rolls, Yum!
Funny story!! Just placed my Walmart order to include ingredients for stuffed peppers!! My younger son loves them like me but hubby and older son like just the filling!! Looks super yummy! I just recommend your channel to a mom who is on a limited budget. She is holding down her household with two young children while hubby is away getting education/training. I suggested the dollar store meals and 4 meals from a chicken since she openly talks about the assistance she receives including EBT. These videos you make can help moms like her…keep up great work!
Looks so delicious 👍❤
