Stuffed bell peppers

[bikerbeans]

I thawed and ground a few pounds of burger meat from a hog I shot in April. I seasoned about a third of the ground pork with cinnamon, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano and basil. Then hand mixed the meat with a cup of uncooked white rice. I dumped a half gallon of tomato juice into a crock pot and set on high. I then stuffed the peppers with the meat/rice. At this point I usually put a tbsp of butter on top the meat /rice before putting the top of the pepper back on. I forgot the butter, no big deal. Put the peppers in the pop and replaced the lid. I then forgot about it and went to my reloading room, I always need more 20ga slugs. When I returned about 4 1/2 hours later my wife was finishing her second pepper. I had one and it was decent but she really liked them.

Can't disagree with the way you seasoned it or cooked it. Same way my mom did it and the way we do it. Love them things! Only way we differ is we use cooked rice--end up with the same product. Yummy!

Anyone is welcome to post a recipe... I love them and have eaten the since I was a kid, must have had them a few dozen different ways. I think my favorites are spicy ones.

If too dry add a little water ...if too moist add dry bread crumbs.
Taste and adjust seasonings .
Take each cleaned pepper and fill with the mixture , place into a Pyrex baking dish , standing up ,
when the dish is full , pour 1/4" water into the dish , cover and bake for 30 minutes @350 degrees in the oven . When the pepper's skin has cooked through and is soft, remove the Pyrex lid , top each pepper with spoon full or two of Tomato Sauce , return to oven uncovered for another 30 minutes .
Note : exact baking times can vary . Remove from oven , let stand in dish 15 min.
These bad boys freeze wonderfully and can be re-heated in the microwave and still taste great .
I usually make a double batch and freeze what we don't eat ... good !!!

We stuffed some Anaheim's with Monterrey jack cheese and battered and fried them. Home made Chile Rellonos just rock in my opinion. Seperate three eggs and beat the whites until stiff then slowly add the yolks until it is all together for a great batter. Broil the chiles until the skin is blackened, turning once, then let them steam in a plastic bag for 10 minutes. The skin should slide off under running water. Slit the side, pull the seeds, insert cheese, roll in seasoned flour, dip in beaten eggs and fry at 375-400 F.
For a sauce, open a can of tomato sauce and add 3-4 tbsp taco seasoning.
