Homestyle Stuffed Peppers

Servings:

These old-fashioned stuffed peppers are a classic comfort food. My mom used to make them all the time. Green bell peppers are stuffed with a mixture of ground beef and rice, then smothered in a tangy tomato sauce. I always serve them with creamy mashed potatoes, just like my mom always did.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  2. 2 Add peppers and boil until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer peppers to a colander and run under cold water to cool.
  3. 3 Mix ground beef, cooked rice, bread crumbs, 4 tablespoons Parmesan, onion, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until well combined.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spoon beef mixture into peppers.
  5. 5 Place peppers into a baking dish with the stuffing facing up.
  6. 6 Stir tomato sauce and vinegar together in a bowl. Pour tomato sauce mixture over peppers.
  7. 7 Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan over top.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven, basting peppers with sauce several times, until beef filling is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
