I prefer green bell peppers but the sweeter red or orange bell peppers work well too.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Sauté onion, celery, and garlic in the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until onion and celery are tender. Add the ground pork and continue sautéing until pork is no longer pink and remove from heat.
Stir in rice and then cheese. Fill bell peppers with mixture. Place peppers in a baking dish bottom side down. Cover with the pepper tops that were set aside.
Bake until peppers are tender and filling is heated through, about 25 to 35 minutes.

I have always loved stuffed peppers, but stuffed zucchini is fabulous using the same stuffing!
I was never fond of green peppers until last year when a friend gave us some out of her garden. After trying stuffed bell peppers, this recipe became one of my favorites.
I use my jumbo muffin pan when I make stuffed peppers. Each muffin container is just the right size to hold a delicious stuffed pepper without it tipping over.
Delicious with a spoonful of the sauce in the pan poured over the pepper.
Cut green peppers in half and clean out seeds and wash; put in small baking dish. Brown hamburger; cook rice. Put taco seasoning in hamburger and stir in cooked rice and about 1/4 can of tomato sauce.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut peppers in half lengthwise, remove seeds, discard stems and place, cut side up, in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, saute pork and onions for 5 minutes or until pork is browned, then season with salt and pepper. Stir in the tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, rice, and water.
I like to make this in the summer when we have a lot of peppers from the garden. The kids love the mac 'n cheese

Recipe for Crab Stuffed Peppers. Steam and pick out Snow Crab. From 2 lbs. of Clusters, you should have about 8 oz. of crabmeat. (It usually fills an 8 oz size cool whip tub!) Set aside...

I am looking for a delicious stuffed bell pepper recipe, a little different from all the rest. Does anyone have one?

I just made stuffed peppers for the first time and they were great. I used ground turkery breast (husband dieting and getting blood pressure under control) about a cup or so low sodium chicken stock (I found out that Rachel Ray's is lower in everything and beats the other lower sodium name brand), half an onion, a bit of pepper, some parsley, rosemary, and rice (I only buy instant--I always mess up the regular) Sorry, I didn't measure and I only used dry herbs.
The next night--I used the leftover meat in a lowfat wheat tortilla, romain lettue, and South Beach's Diet Ranch dressing...cold and Yummy!

I have a fun easy one that you don't have to cook. I use the red, yellow and orange sweet peppers. Seed them and cut into quarters. Next crush one sleeve of saltine crackers. Add shredded cheese ( a handful or two) and just enough mayo to make it stick together. Fill the peppers and a quick easy healthy snack. I hope you enjoy this! God bless you.
