Ingredients:
- 6 - green bell peppers
- 1 tablespoons - butter
- 1 tablespoons - olive oil
- 1/2 cups - chopped onion
- 1/2 cups - chopped celery
- 1 cans - diced tomatoes 14.5 oz.
- 1 cans - tomato sauce 8 oz.
- 1 cloves - garlic crushed
- 1 teaspoons - dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoons - dried basil
- 2 teaspoons - salt divided
- 1/2 teaspoons - black pepper divided
- 1 - egg lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 teaspoons - worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 pounds - lean ground beef
- 1 1/2 cups - long-grain rice cooked
- 2/3 cups - mild cheddar cheese shredded
Directions:
Remove tops from peppers; clean out seeds and membrances. Chop edible part of tops and set aside.
Rinse peppers under cold water. Place peppers in large pot; cover with salted water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain peppers and set aside.
Heat olive oil and butter in large skillet over medium heat until hot. Saute chopped green pepper (from tops), chopped onion, and chopped celery for about 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, crushed garlic, oregano, basil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine egg with remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Gently stir to blend; add ground beef, cooked rice, and 1 cup of tomato mixture. Mix well.
Stuff peppers with meat mixture and place in a 3-quart baking dish. Pour remaining tomato mixture over stuffed peppers. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-65 minutes.
If desired, top stuffed peppers with a little shredded cheddar cheese just before peppers are done; bake 3-5 minutes more or until cheese is melted.
