– WOW! This is the best. My husband was skeptical but LOVES it. As others have said the rice does absorb the liquid so I make up half the rice and put it into half of the soup to eat right away and freeze the other half the soup without the rice. Then make up and add the rice when we have the the rest later. We also put in about 3 green peppers chopped into large chunks and usually more chicken broth.
– Excellent! It really does taste like stuffed peppers. I did end up using beef broth instead of chicken, added garlic, used oregano and basil instead of sage and thyme(didnt have any) Also added 2 jalapeno’s which added a little spice. It reminded me alot of Stouffer’s stuffed peppers which I love. I do think next time I wont add the rice to the whole pot but add some to the bowls as we g
Ingredients :
1lb LEAN ground beef
1 lg onion, diced…
1 cup uncooked or 2 cups cooked rice (I love to use wild rice)
1 can Hunts flavored diced tomatoes (Red pepper and fennel, roasted garlic, sweet onion etc) (14.5oz can)
1 can tomato sauce (14.5oz can)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp basil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 box chicken stock (32oz)
2 cups water
2 tbsp powdered beef stock
3 bell peppers (I use 1 big green pepper then 4-5 red and 4-5 yellow BABY bell peppers)
Cheese for topping (optional)
Fresh cracked black pepper for garnish (optional)
Direction :
In a large soup pot coated with cooking spray, over medium-high heat, brown the grown beef with the onions and rice. I know that sounds odd, but browning the rice gives it a nice nutty flavor – do not allow it to burn!!
Meanwhile dice your peppers into small ½” pieces, set side
Add in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, chicken stock, water, and powdered beef stock, then allow it to come to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover and allow it to cook 20 minutes then add the peppers and allow it to cook another 20-30 minutes (some types of rice may need longer cooking times)
Serve with cheese on top (optional)
Serve 6 (or 3 hungry bikers)
