Unstuffed Peppers (Mrs Bear’s Method)

Unstuffed Peppers (Mrs Bear’s Method)


This was one of the first meals Mrs Bear made for me, when we first got married, nearly 50 years ago. I was in the Army at the time:

It's all the things most people put in when they make Stuffed Peppers, but we cut some peppers up, instead of stuffing them, and cook it all together.
We find it much easier & no difference in taste.


Ingredients:
Deerburger (or Ground Beef)
Diced Tomatoes
Chopped up Bell Peppers
Rice
Prego Italian Sauce (or similar)
Seasonings

Notes:
I add Hot Stuff to mine. She doesn't want her's hot.

Sorry---Nothing here is smoked, but I love it !!!

I put it on a dish if I'm in a hurry or Starving, or in a bowl if I plan on taking my time to eat it.

Chopped Bell Peppers:

Browning the Deerburger:

However I said this was her "method". I made this batch, using her method.:)
It tasted almost as good as when she makes it.;)
And Thanks for the "Like".

What a simple and straight forward idea, John - yet makes perfectly logical sense. All the flavors will be there, yet a bit easier to eat. Kudos to Mrs. Bear.

this sounds pretty tasty, bear! i may have to convince the wife to try this out.

she used to make stuffed cabbage a lot, but then started making unstuffed cabbage. it is pretty similar in concept to your recipe, but it obviously uses cabbage instead of bell peppers. she also uses regular tomato sauce instead of the ragu.

 

[chrisjames]

it looks like bandcollector beat me to it with the unstuffed cabbage.

Much easier to eat than with them stuffed!
One of my favorite meals too!

Bear, looks like a great unstuffed pepper! I sometimes substitute the rice with a can of baked beans for something different. like

Thank You PZ !!
Exactly!! And I gotta get a good recipe for "Unstuffed Cabbage" too, because regular Rolled "Halupkis" seem like too much of a PITA to me.
