Many recipes tell me to discard something that can be re-purposed or
added back in later in that recipe. Stuffed peppers, for instance. When
I cut the top w/stem off I discard the woody stem - but I trim the rest
of the actual pepper remaining and chop it fine to add it back into the
mixture that becomes the stuffing. Mushrooms the same.
And the bits and bobs trimmed from meat have myriad other uses and are
well worth keeping, bones too if I'm going to be making stock. Bv)=

Sorta like a home-grown Egg McMuffin usig bread instead of muffin. Bv)=
6 lg Bell peppers; cored
1 lb Ground beef
1 c Rice; cooked
+=OR=+
1 c Instant rice
26 oz Jar marinara sauce
2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Garlic granules
1 md Onion; diced small
1 ts Dried leaf oregano
Cut a slice in stem end of peppers. Remove seeds and
wash thoroughly. Put the peppers in the microwave and
nuke for one minute. Wait a minute, then nuke for a
second minute.
Remove peppers.
Dice the onions. An "as seen on TV" onion chopper with
the small die plate works very well here. Dice the
tops that you removed from the peppers at the same
time.
Pull on your rubber gloves and dump everything except
the peppers and marinara sauce into a mixing bowl.
knead and squeeze and mix like you are making mud pies
until all ingredients are well distributed.
Stuff each pepper and stand upright in crock pot.
Pour marinara sauce over peppers. Cover and cook for
3 hours (approx) on high. Or 5 hours on low. Test a
pepper w/fork for doneness.
Serve with sauce over the pepper. Side with au gratin
or mashed potatoes and green beans or corn. If serving
mash - the sauce makes an excellent gravy.
