Stuffed peppers WITHOUT rice

I haven't read through the whole thread, but I don't like the traditional recipe with rice and tomato sauce, either. I make mine with mushrooms for the "filler" and brown gravy. I'm pretty sure it's an adaptation of an allrecipes.com recipe.

My dad would make them with a thin slice of onion on the bottom, little blue cheese, then stuff with corned beef, top with another dolop of blue cheese, onion slice, then cut a piece of bacon in half and criss cross it on the top secure with a tooth pick and bake about 45mins-1 hour. Sometimes he would put a slice of tomato on top of the onion.

Ok, now I have to print this up... this just sounds WAY too yummy to not try at least once! Especially with bacon in it. Farmer Lew would think he died and went to heaven. He truly loves 5 things in his life: His children, me, his parents/family, bacon, and stuffed bell peppers.

That's how I do mine. Just like a meatloaf!

I actually use my meatball or meatloaf recipe for the meat filling in peppers. I take a big pot of water with a steam basket and put peppers in upside down so they steam a bit and soften. Then I stuff with meatball mix put in a pan with sweet and sour type sauce, sprinkle some parm and mozz cheese and in the oven at 350 for 45-60 mins covered. Once I see them perking I take off the tin and let the broiler brown the cheese a bit. Don't forget to spray the tin before putting on or the cheese will stick to it....

been there done that trust me you don't want to miss out on the CHEESE

I'm still voting for quinoa! And yep, I knew it was a grain. I meant to say that it satisfies that pasta craving without having to actually eat pasta . . . perfect for avoiding flour (if that's your thing).

Yummy!
