Stuffed Bell Peppers

Monday, October 12th, 2009
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup uncooked long grain white rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 green bell peppers
  • 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

 

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Place the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 20 minutes. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef until evenly browned.
  3. Remove and discard the tops, seeds, and membranes of the bell peppers. Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward. (Slice the bottoms of the peppers if necessary so that they will stand upright.)
  4. In a bowl, mix the browned beef, cooked rice, 1 can tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each hollowed pepper. Mix the remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers.
  5. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until the peppers are tender.

Curried Chicken, Pepper & Peas

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

2 skinless, boneless chicken cutlets
12 thin slices red onion, halved
½ red bell pepper, diced
1 cup peas, fresh or frozen
4 tsp olive oil
1 tsp curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut 4 12-inch-long pieces of nonstick aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  2. Cut the chicken into long strips, then cut the strips in half. Mix all the ingredients together and spoon equal amounts onto the center of each piece of foil or paper. Draw up the sides and seal the packets well — leaving room around the ingredients so they can steam. Put packets on a baking sheet.
  3. Bake 17 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked.
