Meatloaf Stuffed Peppers - Easy Rice Recipes

 

I love rice. Yes, I love pasta, too because I’m a total #carbhoor. But, there’s something about rice is so comforting and delicious. I could eat straight up with just a little salt, pepper, and butter.
 
 
I’ve made quite a few rice dishes that I’ve shared on AKHA. Of course, several of those are stir-fry recipes. Who doesn’t love a stir-fry recipe? These recipes are typically quick, easy, and made with left overs or ingredients you have on hand.

I think one of my favorites, which goes back to the early days of AKHA, is the Chicken Kiev Stir-Fry. Don’t judge me on those photos. I was new to blogging at that point. And don’t laugh at that hero image. I loved the Picmonkey elements you could use.
 
 
That recipe needs a make-over. I bet it would go viral if I made it over in my new style of food photography and writing. Hmm… That’s going on the menu to remake! Stay tuned for the recipe reno.

Rice is also a perfect filling for enchiladas! I have quite a few of those recipes on the blog, too. Some of them are not quite traditional, too. These Ham and Cheese Enchiladas are cheap eats that taste delicious! I also like the Corned Beef and Cabbage Enchiladas, too!
 
 
I told you had some not so traditional enchiladas on the blog!
 
 
Whenever I make stuffed peppers, rice is always in the mix. Not just for flavor, adding rice to your pepper stuffing mix will allow your meat to go father! The hubs wasn’t sure about one pound of ground beef in this recipe. He didn’t think it would fill four peppers.

And here’s a confession. It didn’t stuff four of the peppers I had for this recipe. They were, like, super HUGE peppers! They stood about 4 inches tall and almost as wide. HUGE! GINORMOUS! Don’t get peppers as big as a baby’s head. Get something a little smaller than that and you’ll have an easy time filling four peppers.

Look at all that lean beef and rice goodness! These meatloaf stuffed peppers have great meatloaf flavor. Which for me is almost always Italian seasoned. You could skip the cheese and make a typical ketchup glaze on top. That’s totally up to you. I contemplated that, but everything is better with cheese in my book. How about yours?
 
 
How do you like to use rice in your cooking?

Meatloaf Stuffed Peppers

Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour

You won't believe how simple this recipe truly is! Meatloaf Stuffed Peppers comes together in less time than it takes to preheat the oven but your family will LOVE how delicious it is.

Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 slices provolone cheese (or 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and membrane from the inside of the pepper. If it doesn’t stand upright on its own, carefully slice a little off the bottom to make sure it stands up.
  3. Combine the next nine ingredients (ground beef through garlic powder) in a mixing bowl using your hands to make sure everything is mixed together well.
  4. Carefully stuff the peppers with the ground beef mixture. Place the tops on the peppers and bake at 350 for 50 to 60 minutes or until the ground beef is cooked through and internal temperature reaches at least 155 F.
  5. Remove the peppers from the oven and take the tops off. Top each with either 1 slice of provolone or 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and broil until the cheese is melted and bubble.
  6. Allow to sit at least 5 minutes before serving.

    What an awesome way to eat meatloaf! We love meatloaf around here and I probably have half a dozen meatloaf recipes, but this one really stands out! I love this! Definitely going to have to stick that on the menu.
