Hash Brown Hot Dish Stuffed Bell Peppers

This is a good base. I did make a couple changes. I doubled the beef, used frozen shredded hash browns instead of patties, and added onion to the beef while it was cooking. I omitted the green beans and jalapeno. I cooked 4 slices of bacon and crumbled that into the beef/hash brown mix as well as garlic and chili powder and half a can of cheese soup. I halved the peppers and prepared them as noted in the directions. Once the peppers were stuffed I topped each one with the remaining cheese soup and some shredded cheddar. When done I topped the peppers with sour cream and served. It was delicious! A good alternative to the traditional stuffed peppers.

My family all enjoyed this. I found the mixed ingredients looked a bit dry and uninviting, so added the better part of a can of Heinz tomato soup to moisten and flavou - I think this was an important addition as it held it all together. I also added about a tsp of cumin instead of just a pinch. My kids usually only like peppers raw on a veggie plate or in Greek Salad, so this was a victory. The 10 min. soak in boiling water nicely prepared the peppers for a quick baking, but they were still firm enough to stuff. I will try stuffing them with Spanish Rice on another occasion. Thanks for the inspiration!

This was a great recipe. We didn't use the greenbeans and we doubled the beef. We added a red onion to the beef as it was cooking. Another thing we did was to salt and pepper to taste. Overall the cooking directions were great.

I browned meat in skillet, removed to colander to drain, cooked frozen shredded hashbrowns in same skillet to almost done, returned meat to hashbrowns, added a can of Rotel and shredded cheese, then stuffed peppers- omitted green beans, also, mine kept falling over when I was placing in baking dish, so I put peppers in my cupcake pan to cook! Worked out really well.

This was a very tasty recipe but I modifies it a bit, I made homemade hashbrowns instead of using frozen, I nixed the beans and replaced them with onion and peppers. I flavored meat and potatoes with garlic,black pepper,paprika,cumin,worceshire sauce and a touch of hot sauce.

I used fresh potatoes shredded & cooked them with chopped portabella mushrooms & onion. I also added homemade salsa to the beef mixture. This was EXCELLENT! My husband absolutely loved this. I will definitly be making this again.

It is a great base recipe. I did what it called for but added sour cream too. I'm thinking that if the green pepper was chopped up it would make an excellent skillet or potluck dish. I'm also thinking about adding corn next time.

Some variations: I like to add a little sweet potato when I can, in addition to the other potatoes/ hash browns. It makes the flavor more complex. I usually have more filling left over than will fit inside the bell peppers, so we eat the leftovers with corn tortillas. Sometimes I add a little chopped bell pepper, and then dispense with stuffing the filling into whole chopped peppers, and we eat it ALL with the tortillas. I found that this recipe is best with mild anaheim peppers - Anaheims are slightly spicy, just enough to add some warmth but not enough to burn your mouth. Green bell peppers are pretty good, too. I didn't like it with sweet red peppers, however.

This recipe was great I put a little more cumin than it called for. I liked these better than regular stuffed peppers. Great idea for those who can't have tomatoes.

Okay, so I substituted corn for the green beans, and added a jar of roasted tomato & chipotle salsa for liquid, but this dish was AWESOME. My son actually ate a whole serving of green pepper!!

Just okay...won't make again

Wonderful!!!!!! Will make again!!!!! Fast and effortless recipe! Entire family enjoyed!! Made some changes...didnt have the hashbrowns so i added a box of wild rice and tomato soup to make is stick together. Also added 5 slices bacon, chopped and some grated chedder cheese. Delicious!! You can pretty much add whatever you like to this recipe and it will be great.

These were yummy! I substituted the green beans with onions and they turned out great. My family loved them :)

My husband and father n law scarfed these down. Good recipe.

Excellent! I added canned broccoli and cheddar soup, bits of bacon and omitted the green beans and it was sooooo tasty - will definitely make this recipe again!!!!

Hashbrowns made a nice change for a stuffed pepper dinner. I added a little tomato sauce, a little worcestershire sauce and dash of A1 sauce so that the inside was not dry. Keep the pepper in the boiling water over heat for five minutes so that it will be more tender when the peppers are done baking.

Very delicious! We took the advice of another and added a small can of tomato soup to the stuffing and topped with extra cheese and it turned out great! Will definitely make again!

I have not made this yet, but think I will add black beans and corn in lieu of the green beans, and also add some salsa to the gound beef mixture.

This recipe is an interesting idea but unfortunately it lacked in flavor. It really could some spicing up. Thanks for the recipe anyway!

we did turkey burger, four bell peppers and used shreddeed hash browns out of a bag, 1Tbs cumin, 2 fresh jalapeno peppers(I like the heat) finely chopped, 1/4 a white onion in a skillet and 3 thick slices of bacon chopped up, salt and peppered to our taste. I added chedder cheese on top of the bell peppers and cooked ours in aluminum foil on the grilled. I liked it alot and had great flavor. I will be making it again for my family and friends.

I personally don't care for bell peppers so I'm basing this review off of what my husband said and how quickly he ate this and requested it again! :)

yehhh buddy my kids ate it and my mother inlaw didn't have anything bad to say about it that was a jaw dropper for her

I changed this up somewhat due to what I had and didn't have. I used frozen hash browns, deer sausage instead of hamburger meat and I didn't have any green beans. I used red, yellow and green bell peppers. This turned out very tasty and it was super easy.

I too like this recipe but modified it. I added a can of Cheddar Cheese Soup to the cooked beef and also browned l/2 lb. sage sausage to add to the meat mix. Once mixed together, added crispy onions, topped stuffed peppers with shredded cheddar and a dash of parmesan. Much better.

I didn't stuff this wonderful mixture into peppers as suggested (Being out of season they are quite expensive, but I will try this mixture again when the price comes down during the summer). So I did an adaptation by placing baked tater tots on the bottom of a casserole dish, then topped them with the beef mixture and finally spread a cheese sauce on top. I substituted a can of diced green chilies for the jalapeno, as that would have been a little too much heat for me. And the sauce recipe that I used instead of just straight Cheddar also came from this site as well...Real Welsh Rarebit. Together the two recipes were spectacular, not dry at all! It was thoroughly enjoyed by all who joined us for dinner & a movie that cold winter evening. Thank you Beckerkorn for sharing your recipe!

Good base recipie...made adjustments. Cooked beef with onions,pinch of chopped garlic. Added beans, cheese, and can of cream of mushroom soup when meat is no longer pink. I used shredded hashbrowns and added half to the mix. Put the mix into a casserole dish and topped the mix with the other half of the hashbrowns for the topping.

We are not a big greenbean family so instead of greenbeans i added diced fresh mushrooms and a can of rotel (do not drain) I put mine in a small baking dish and added a tiny bit of water to the bottom for easier clean up. They are suprisingly filling , hubby liked them and they were fast. Will make them again when kids come to visit.

Modified a bit. One pound beef, half can roi tel (no juice), cumin, frozen hash browns, one can of golden mushroom soup, onion, and green beans. Stuffed and covered with shredded cheese. Served with long grain wild rice and some grape tomatoes.

This was delicious. I omitted the green beans, used ground turkey, added diced tomatoes and cheese sauce. It was really great.
