In an effort to stop ordering out so often I decided to make stuffed peppers tonight. Just like any time I cook, I take a picture for proof that I actually cooked. To my surprise, friends on Facebook, actually wanted to know how I did it. I figured, why not use this opportunity to make another blog post! I'll be honest, sometimes (a lot) I'm way too lazy to actually follow a recipe so I just make things up on my own.So here we go kids. Learn how to cook like a woman who barely cooks, but can rock it out when I actually do!
Stuffed Peppers (The easy way by a non-chef)
What do you need?
What do you need?
- 4-6 green peppers
- 1 lb of ground turkey meat (or ground beef)
- Diced tomatoes w/ light sauce OR for those who love sauce just go with a tomato sauce. I didn't want a saucy meal.
- 1/2 cup of cooked rice.
- salt, garlic, oregano and whatever other seasoning you like :)
- Shredded cheese
Ok...you've got the ingredients. NOW WHAT?!
- Preheat the oven to 365 degrees.
- Cook your rice and ground meat.
- Cut the tops off the peppers and clean the inside out. Put the peppers in a pan to await their filling.
- Once the ground meat is ready, drain it. Then put your cooked rice and diced tomatoes or tomato sauce in the pan.
- Add your seasonings. I used light salt, garlic and oregano.
- Give it a stir, make sure it tastes good.
- Take the filling and stuff your peppers...get it...that is why it's called stuffed peppers :)
- Bake your stuffed peppers for about 40-50 minutes or until green peppers are soft.
- Before you are completely done toss some shredded cheese on top and pop it back in for a final 5 minutes
- EAT IT! (duh)
This just goes to show that anyone can cook. These were super simple and really good. Extremely filling too. I got through 3/4 of a big one and I'm switching to stretchy pants.
Not gonna lie, this would have been WAY better with Malbec. Major rookie mistake. How did I not have any wine to drink while I cooked?
Happy Friday Kids!
