I am not a big vegetable person, and I know how terrible that sounds. Part of it is growing up eating only french cut green beans and canned corn. I just don’t care for many others. But I decided to make these stuffed peppers after picking one up at the farm stand (and for me a farm stand is near Target-that is how I roll country) You can always add ground meat, turkey or chicken, or cook the rice in broth to give it a meatier flavor. But vegetables are good for you, “they will make your eyes shine” as my gran always says
Vegetarian stuffed peppers (makes 3-4 pepper stuffing)
2 cups cooked long grain brown rice
3-4 peppers, any color you like with tops cut off and insides scooped out
4 oz tomato sauce
1 sliced carrot
1 sliced celery
italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
butter
2 T shredded cheese (I used an italian blend)
Melt half a tablespoon of butter in a sauce pan on medium high heat
once melted, add sliced carrot and celery, cook until soft
add tomato sauce, seasoning, salt and pepper, cook for 5 minutes
Add cooked rice, stir until combine and warm
*you can quickly char your peppers at this point if you want
fill peppers with filling and sprinkle with cheese

You can’t beat a good stuffed pepper - they’re substantial and filling, not to mention delicious!!
agreed! so many ways to make it a meal
Love that you used orange peppers! I pretty much dislike green peppers and only use them sparingly when necessary.
i think the orange and yellow are milder, but still give you nice flavor. green can definitely be overpowering.
I recently made stuffed peppers for the family and used colored instead of green. probably why they ate it
You can never have too many stuffed pepper recipes and yours sounds so quick and easy! Thank you for sharing!

This sounds delicious - I love using orange and yellow peppers! I would of never thought about using celery - I am sure the celery adds a lot of flavor. Good idea!
