This week I'd like to share with you our recipe for Stuffed Peppers. This is one of those recipes that you'll have to add a bit of this and a bit of that to the amounts that you deem good for you. You can handle it though.
Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers
Green Peppers - tops cut off and hollowed out
Fake burger - I used a pack of LightLife Smart Ground
diced onions
Brown (or white) rice prepared
small can of tomato paste
small can of tomato sauce
ketchup to sweeten it up a bit
oregano, basil, pepper, & garlic salt
*optional* mozzarella cheese to top

Take your peppers and place them in a large pot of boiling water. You'll only want a small amount of water and you'll put the peppers in with the open sides down into the water. Place a lid and steam them until they are tender (about 15 minutes?).
Meanwhile fry up your ground beef substitute according to package directions. Add in some diced onions and fry until tender. Add in your tomato paste, tomato sauce, ketchup, and seasoning. Once that is put together add in your rice to make a nice thick mixture.
Once your peppers are tender take them out of the water and stuff them with your tomato mixture. Top them off with ketchup on top. Put them into the oven in a baking dish with a bit of water in the bottom so your peppers don't burn. Bake for about 30 minutes at 350. It's optional, but if you would like you can take the peppers out when they are done, sprinkle the tops with mozzarella cheese and put back in under the broiler just until cheese is all melted.
This is a recipe I have always used with ground beef and no one was any the wiser when I used the substitute. They were still as delicious as ever. The added bonus to this recipe is that I made three peppers and had enough of the tomato mixture to freeze and I'll be able to make another dinner of these in a couple weeks. If I'd have to estimate it makes enough for about 6 - 8 peppers depending on the size of your peppers.
Enjoy!
