Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2/3 cup cooked white rice

  • 2 large green bell peppers

  • 16 ounces of tomato juice

Directions

  • Cook the rice and when finished cooking, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  • Slice the green peppers in half, lengthwise, cleaning out the seeds and stem. Place in a 8 or 9 inch square pan.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the meat, seasonings and egg until well combined. Add the rice and mix until evenly incorporated.
  • Stuff each of the 4 pepper halves with the meat mixture, slightly mounding the meat. If there is leftover meat, make an extra oval shaped meatball and place it between the peppers.
  • Pour the tomato juice over the peppers and place in the oven.
  • Bake for 75 minutes, basting the peppers every 20 minutes or so.
  • Serve with boiled potatoes and a veggie (my favorite with this dish is whole kernel corn).

Notes

  • Some folks prefer tomato sauce in place of the juice and that works as well. If the green peppers are very large, you may want to par boil them for a few minutes to soften them up a bit as sometimes, larger pepper have a thicker “skin”.
