Ellens Mini Stuffed Peppers Recipes

STUFFED MINI PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425F*.
• De-stem the peppers if desired (I leave them on for aesthetics), then cut each in half. Place in a bowl with the olive oil and 1/4 tsp of salt, and toss well to coat.
• In a large bowl, stir to combine the goat cheese, parmesan, garlic, jalapeno, and black pepper.
• Fill the cut peppers with small spoonfuls of filling. You should have just enough filling to fill the peppers with a generous amount, coming slightly over the tops of the peppers.
• Roast the peppers for about 20-25 minutes, until the peppers are soft and the cheese is golden on the edges. Enjoy!

MINI STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the bell peppers in half top to bottom and remove the seeds and ribs. Set aside. Cook the rice in a medium saucepan following the package directions.
• In a medium skillet, brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic over medium-high heat, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the meat and remove the skillet from the heat. Combine the ground beef mixture, rice, tomatoes, black pepper and salt in a large bowl and mix until blended.
• In a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish, place the bell peppers cut-side up. Evenly divide the beef mixture among the pepper halves. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle the Cheddar on top. Return the pan to the oven, uncovered, and bake until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

• Mix goat cheese, Parmesan cheese, jalapeno, garlic, chives, and black pepper in a separate bowl. Stir until evenly combined. Spoon cheese mixture into pepper halves and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until peppers have softened and cheese is browned, about 15 minutes.

ELLEN'S MINI STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• 1. In a medium skillet, brown the ground chuck with the onion until beef is no longer pink and onion is transparent. Add garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute.
• 2. Cook rice as per package directions; drain and place into a medium to large bowl. Add burger mixture to the rice and stir. Add salt, pepper, tomato juice and Worcestershire sauce. Blend thoroughly.
• 3. Place green bell peppers upright in a deep baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Carefully fill peppers with burger/rice mixture to the top.
• 4. If there is any filling left over, place it into a small baking dish as is and save it for a side dish at another meal.
• 5. Place peppers carefully into a preheated 350º oven and bake, uncovered for 50-60 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle cheese over each pepper and bake another five minutes or until cheese is melted.
• 6. If you have too much filling with these amounts, add another pepper or two. I happened to have just three. Can also use 1/2 can of chopped tomatoes instead of juice if you prefer.
