Stuffed Mini Bell Peppers

For this weeks Vindicate The Vegetable, our esteemed hostess, Nina, chose bell peppers.

So for my entry, please welcome my guest blogger, Sabrina from Cooking With The Kids. She (conveniently) was going to make stuffed peppers so she graciously agreed to appear on my blog.

Now last time we were at Costco, we found the cutest mini peppers. They are really sweet and Sabrina likes them because there aren’t any green ones.

So first, she removed the stem and seeds:

Then it was time to make the filling:

Using a small spoon, she stuffed the peppers with the meat mixture:

Then, stand them upright in a casserole dish:

Here they are, cooked to perfection:

We usually put chili sauce on them before serving.

Stuffed Mini Peppers

1 lb. ground beef
1 egg
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
¼ cup warm water
Salt and pepper to taste
2 squirts ketchup or chili sauce

Combine all ingredients and fill cavity of peppers. Stand peppers upright in a greased dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until cooked through and browned on top.

Thanks, Sabrina!
