Internet Pepper not mine

Last night B. and made Stuffed Red Peppers… they were super yum. For the most part we ad-libbed the recipe. Essentially…(not in any real order just typing as I remember it)

-Cook up a standard package of ground beef
-Add onion, green pepper, spices (what ever you want… we added Chili spices and McCormick Spice Blends Santa Fe style and some fresh herbs from the garden… season to your taste…)
-Cook and add 1 1/2 cup of instant rice (which ended up being A LOT of rice…)
-Blend rice and meat
-Blend in some tomato sauce (we used a spicy sauce) – it wasn’t a lot of sauce maybe half of a 680 ml can
-cut the top off of your red peppers (much like you would cut the top off a pumpkin) and stuff in your rice/meat mixture, our red peppers would a good size and we made 3… there was easily enough mix for two more peppers
-preheat oven to 350, cook peppers in a pan with a 1/4 inch of water in the base for about 30 minutes
-check your peppers… you want a soft but not mushy texture… top with more tomato sauce and cook for 10 more minutes
-add cheese and cook for 3-5 minutes (or until cheese is melted)
Enjoy!

Mutterings : Week 77

Huh… A few entries ago I mentioned an old friend, Drek who I hung around with a lot… I was pleasantly surprised to get an e-mail from him saying he’d like to get together sometime. We’ll see… would be fun to catch up and share some of the old camaraderie… Doom III isn’t even out and it is already bringing joy to the world…
