Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed peppers is a dish common in many cuisines. It consists of hollowed or halved peppers filled with any of a variety of fillings, often including meat, vegetables, cheese, rice, or sauce.

Stuffed peppers is usually made with green bell peppers but I wanted to try something different. So, I used Red, yellow and orange bell peppers which gave the dish a bit of a sweet flavor. The peppers were nice and tender!

This is a perfect comfort food recipe and so easy to make!

Stuffed Peppers

4 Large peppers
1 cup boiling, salted water (1 1/2 tsp)
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1/2 lb ground beef
1 cup bread or cracker crumbs
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tbsp chopped onion

Heat oven to 350F
Cut off the stems of each pepper. Wash pepper inside and out. Remove seeds and membrane.
Cook peppers in salted, boiling water 5 minutes. Drain.
Mix the rest of the ingredients. Stuff peppers with meat mixture. Stand upright in small baking dish.
Bake covered for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 more minutes.

Tuna Noodle Casserole

Another wonderful Autumn and winter dish. Also one from my childhood.

When I whip up my own concoctions, I don’t measure anything. Keep this is mind when you see a recipe that I am sharing. The following “recipe” is how my mother used to make Tuna Noodle Casserole. I use this recipe when I am in a hurry or have forgotten to take meat out to thaw.

I have a different recipe with a lot more and different ingredients than this one. I make it when I have plenty of time.

There are many variations of how I make my casserole but this is how I did it this time. For the soup, I usually do a combo of 2 soups. This time, I used 2 cans of mushroom soup.

Pre-heat oven to 350
Cook noodles and soups according to package directions
1 - 1lb bag noodles
2 - 10 oz cans soup (cream of mushroom, cream of celery, or cream of chicken)
2 - 5 oz cans tuna fish
1 cup Frozen Peas (optional)
Bread Crumbs (I use seasoned). Season to taste.

Add frozen peas to soup while cooking. Drain tuna and add to soup.
Once soup and noodles are cooked and drained, combine - soup, noodles, peas, tuna in a pot or bowl and mix.
Sprinkle in some bread crumbs. Pour mixture into baking dish. Cover with more bread crumbs. Bake in oven 15-25 minutes or until top layer is a little crispy.

This is a great, easy dish because you usually have these items in your cupboards or pantry. The night I made this I was going to make another dish in the crockpot when I realized the crockpot dish was already in use. So, I looked through my freezer for something else, couldn’t find anything, and thought HMMM….tuna noodle casserole. And of course, I had everything I needed!

How do you make your Tuna Noodle Casserole?
