My review
Homestyle Stuffed Peppers
Jillian
"An old family recipe for classic comfort food passed down to me by my mom. Green peppers are stuffed with a mixture of ground beef and rice then smothered in a tangy tomato sauce. I always serve these with creamy mashed potatoes just like my Mom always did. Enjoy!"

Ready In
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Cook the peppers in boiling water until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove peppers from boiling water and rinse with cold water; set peppers aside to drain.
- Mix together ground beef, cooked white rice, lightly beaten egg, finely chopped onion, Italian-style bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese in a large bowl until evenly mixed.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Divide beef and rice mixture among peppers; stuff each pepper with beef and rice mixture.
- Place peppers open side up in a 9x13-inch baking dish or shallow roasting pan.
- Combine tomato sauce and white vinegar in a bowl.
- Pour tomato mixture over stuffed peppers.
- Top with 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, basting the peppers two or three times while baking, about 80 minutes.
Footnotes
- To cut down on time I use Uncle Ben's ready rice that's done in the microwave in 90 seconds. This freezes well and goes great with mashed potatoes or potato salad.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.

This was eatable, but I would not make again. I thought the filling lacked a little in flavor, and the tomato sauce was too sweet and in dire need of spices.

My husband and I absolutely loved this recipe! The only thing I changed was we used ground turkey since we don't care for beef. The best stuffed peppers I've eaten, hands down. Mmmmmm
