I like meatloaf. I always have. These Stuffed Bell Peppers are stuffed with a meatloaf-like mixture that my family loves. The barbecue sauce and cheese topping make them especially tasty.
And there is no better time to make stuffed peppers than during summer or fall, when perhaps, your garden is full of peppers needed for this recipe! If not, it’s a good time to purchase them in the stores when they are in season and less expensive.
To begin, gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.
Using a sharp knife and cutting board, chop the onion. Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater. Mince the garlic.
Slice the tops of the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membrane.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add bouillon cube and rice. Cook as directed on package.
I’ve actually tried making this dish with uncooked rice, and believe me, you want to precook the rice before stuffing the peppers.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute onion and carrot in melted butter until tender about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook another minute. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine hamburger, oregano, basil, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and 1/3 cup barbecue sauce.
Mix in cooked rice, onion, carrots, and garlic. Mix well. (You may use your hands if necessary.)
Cut tops of peppers and remove seeds. Generously stuff peppers with meat mixture, filling 1″ above tops. Place in square baking dish that has been drizzled or sprayed with olive oil. Bake for 40-45 minutes until meat has cooked through.
Pour remaining barbecue sauce over each bell pepper and sprinkle tops with cheese. Bake for another 5-10 minutes until cheese has lightly browned. This recipe will serve 4-6 people.
I like to make this recipe in the summer or early fall when gardens are overrun with bell peppers. Serve with Refrigerator Mashed Potatoes, or Baked Italian Zucchini Boats. So good!

A Note from the Author
If you’ve been around writers for any length of time, you likely know two things: 1) It’s not the most lucrative profession, and 2) when deadlines hit, there’s likely time for little else. Therefore, we’re always looking for quick, easy, and economical meals that can allow us to feel as if we haven’t completely neglected our family. I suspect all women trying to juggle the demands of family, careers, and just plain life can relate. If so, I hope you find this time-and-budget friendly meal helpful.
