When I was a little girl, we got to choose what we wanted for dinner on our birthday. My choice was either spaghetti or stuffed green peppers. Because there were 12 people in my family, Mom would make 2 trays of these. She would line up the peppers along the sides of the pan, would make oval shaped “meatballs” without the peppers and placed them in the center. These were for the kids that didn’t like the peppers. I never liked the green pepper itself, but the flavor they imposed in the meat was out of this world. Now a days, I enjoy both the pepper and its contents.
This dish is easy to throw together. I usually make a large pot of rice, rinse it with cold water, strain it and refrigerate. This way I have enough rice for this dish and for a skillet full of another favorite…fried rice! Do NOT use instant rice as it will get pasty. As the peppers bake, the tomato juice thickens slightly, We spoon that yummy “sauce” over the meat and some boiled potatoes. Add a veggie and you’ve got dinner!
