Chef John's Stuffed Peppers

Used 8 oz tomato sauce instead of diced tomatoes. Added cedarburg and resist and Italian herbs to meat mixture. Cooked rice with beef and veg bouillon.

These were insanely good! I used short grain rice instead of long and it was fine. The other modification I made was to top with mozzarella and parm cheese.

When I first started making this I would cook the meat first. Once I read the instructions closely and realized it doesn’t say to cook the meat, I switched to mixing the raw meat with the cooked rice and they are so much better this way! I have been making this for years and everyone always loves it.

I come back to this recipe every time. Been making it for years.
