N'Awlins Stuffed Bell Peppers

“Momma's Peppers . . . Whenever my mother prepares this Stuffed Bell Pepper dish, everyone in the family finds an excuse to 'drop by' for a visit to my parents' home. Being a fourth generation native New Orleanian, my mother offers a plate of food to anyone who stops by for a visit . . . that's why this recipe makes twelve servings!”

Bravo! Great recipe, and love that you can pretty much substitute amount/types of meat/stuffing to suit your taste. Husband LOVED it. It took some effort to prepare it all, but it was worth my time...not ALL lengthy prep meals are worth it...this was. Took advice from others and blanched the peppers so the bake time was shorter.

This was really good. I changed a few things. I love shrimp but I am the only one in my family who do. So I used ground turkey as my only meat. For more filling inside I used cabbage and rice and cheese. I also used homemade bread crumbs that I keep in the freezer for when needed. I didnt use just green peppers either I used all colors. It was great.

I didn't care for this recipe. I'm from South Louisiana as well, but these aren't like any stuffed peppers I've ever had. The flavor was an odd mix, like the cook couldn't decide whether to make stuffed peppers or gumbo. I won't bother to change it... I'll just start over.

Loved this!! Made this for a group of friends and they raved about it! I used 12 oz. of stuffing so it wouldn't be as dry, blanched the peppers before cooking, and baked it with about 1/4 in. of water in the bottom. It was definitely moist, and perfect when reheated for leftovers. I paired it with some Cajun Dirty Rice and cornbread... a new favorite meal!

I had to doctor it up a bit. I also am from south Louisiana, but we make them a little different. The mix had a decent flavor, but needed some moisture. I added rice (as we always do in my region for stuffed peppers), extra garlic, a little tomato sauce, a little chicken stock (didn't have beef), and a lil extra bread crumbs (as I didn't have bread stuffing to start with). I took others' advice and blached them ahead of time, then topped them before baking with a sprinkle of bread crumbs and some cheddar cheese crumbles. The family liked it, but I wasn't very impressed.

I love this recipe! It was simple yet delicious. Instead of using ground beef I used ground turkey. I also added green onions to the veggies at the beginning. Before cooking in the oven I topped the peppers with bread crumbs and a little sharp cheddar cheese. Blanching the peppers was a fabulous suggestion, these were ready in about 25 minutes! Will definitely try again!

The stuffing was dry. Added some chicken broth about 1/2 way through the baking. Good for leftovers. Will make again.

I've made the peppers on two occasions now and both times my husband just loved them. However I find not use file powder and I sub'd the stuffing mix for white rice. I also added cayenne pepper to taste.
