“I watched my mom make these when I was a kid. I loved them then and I love them now, and you will too. Goes great with mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and a salad. I like to cook them on a medium-high heat, about 350 degrees, so that the peppers cook soft. You can adjust your temperature to lower the cook time. Enjoy.” - by sammy simmons

Directions

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix the ground beef, mixed vegetables, 1 can of tomato sauce, rice, onion, green onions, garlic, egg, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Spoon the beef mixture into the bell peppers. Arrange peppers in a baking dish, and spoon the remaining 1 can of tomato sauce on top. Cover with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until the beef is no longer pink, about 1 1/2 hours.

"I make these the same way except two things...I boil a large pot of water, remove it from the heat and bathe the peppers in the hot water for 5-10 minutes. Then I partly cook the ground beef with the..." See more onions and garlic and drain, so I can get the grease out of the ground beef. Then I fill the peppers with the exact ingredients you have listed on your recipe and they go in the oven for about 45 minutes or so. Sometimes after they come out of the oven I top them with shredded cheese. This is a fantastic recipe and thank you for reminding me of it...I have not made this in years, so this weekend Stuffed Green Peppers we will have."

"Delicious, fast and easy! Would've given it 5 stars but it was a little runny/watery. It didn't affect the taste but it wasn't pleasant to serve to guests so drippy...." See more"
