Description
My mil makes great stuffed peppers and mine always seemed bland. She told me her trick was to use all ketchup instead of tomato sauce. So i just modified my recipe to use ketchup and they are great. Sounds like a lot of ketchup but these are so good. I always get asked for the recipe and then scare them with the amount of ketchup in it. These are one of my husband's favorite meals. 🙂 i usually just make a salad to accompany the peppers.
Ingredients

Instructions
- Start cooking your rice and preheat oven to 350 degrees

- While the water is starting to boil cut off tops of peppers, make the opening just big enough for stuffing them
- Clean the inside of the peppers and add the peppers to boiling water, including tops
- Boil for about 5 minutes, no more
- If you like a little crispness left then reduce time to maybe 3 minutes
- Remove from hot water and shock them with cold water

- Then stuff this mixture into the cooked peppers, any leftover meat / rice mixture i just put in the bottom of the casserole dish around the peppers
