Stuffed Vegetables

Stuffed vegetables are a great dinner option to make and they’re easy, too!

 

Ingredients:

Your choice of vegetables

1/2 lb Ground beef

1/2 lb Italian sausage

1 small onion (diced)

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 can tomatoes (small diced, 14.5 oz)

1/2 cup white rice (uncooked)

1 1/4 cups water

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

2 1/2 cups marinara sauce (divided)

1/2 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)

Jerry’s hot sauce to taste

 

 

Instructions:

1. Brown meat, onion, and garlic. Add tomato sauce, Jerry’s hot sauce, rice, and seasonings and cook until rice is tender.

2. While the filling is cooking, prepare your vegetables.
*Optional* If using peppers, you can simmer then about 5 minutes to soften or bake them in the oven for 15 minutes. Peppers do not need to be pre-cooked but some prefer it.

3. Fill your vegetables with pasta sauce, meat, and rice mixture.

4. Bake at 350° for about 45 minutes. Cover with foil for the first 30-35 minutes so they do not dry out. Uncover and top with cheese and bake for the remaining 10 minutes or until brown and bubbly.
