Stuffed Peppers
Servings
Six peppers
Ingredients
- 6 green peppers
- 1 cupful cooked meat, chopped
- 1 tablespoonful scraped onion
- 1 teaspoonful salt
- 2 cupfuls soft bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoonful butter or substitute
Directions
Cut a slice from the stem end of each pepper or cut each pepper lengthwise in halves. Remove the seeds.
Mix the chopped meat, onion, and salt. Mix the bread crumbs and butter. Combine the ingredients and stuff the peppers with the mixture. Place the peppers in a baking-dish or pan, and pour enough boiling water into the dish or pan to cover the bottom of it. Bake in a moderate oven (375 degrees F.) for 30 to 45 minutes or until the peppers are tender. Serve hot in place of meat.
If desired, 1/4 cupful fresh or canned tomatoes may be added to the stuffing mixture. Cooked rice may be substituted for the bread crumbs. A mixture of cooked rice and cheese sauce also makes a tasty stuffing for peppers.
If a slice is cut from the top of the pepper, it may be used as a lid to cover the pepper after stuffing.
