Unstuffed Peppers
Unstuffed Peppers
2 lbs. ground beef, ground turkey or Veggie soy crumbles
1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
1/2 – 1 onion, depending on size, chopped
1-2 green peppers, depending on size – chopped
1 large can of tomato soup (I do prefer Campbell’s…tastes better)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions
* Add ground beef or ground turkey to large skillet along with the chopped
onions and green peppers.
* Saute until meat is cooked through. If necessary drain off fat and rinse
with hot water. This will get rid of as much unwanted fat as possible.
* Add the cooked rice to the meat mixture and mix together.
* Add the can of tomato soup and mix together.
Salt and pepper to taste. I honestly don’t add any additional salt. For my
family there’s enough sodium in the canned soup to provide the needed flavor.
However, I understand that my family enjoys their food with little to no salt
at all so those of you that enjoy salt will find it too bland and will need to
add extra.
I try to be frugal so I usually add some water to the empty can of tomato
soup and swish it around to get as much of the condensed soup out of the can
and into the pot.
Vegetarian Substitution:
If you are vegetarian you can use soy crumbles instead of any meat. * Do
not add the crumbles and fry with the onions and green peppers.
* Insteaad of oil you can add some water to the vegetables and steam them
making sure to cover with a lid. Make sure to drain any remaining water after
the veggies are done.
* Continue with the recipe adding the rice and soup.
* After everything else has been added; bring the vegetarian crumbles into
the dish. All you have to do is to make sure the crumbles are mixed in and
heated thoroughly. If you add the crumbles during the cooking process with the
veggies they will tend to disintegrate. At least for me they did!
Tomato Soup Substitution:
If you don’t have tomato soup or not enough tomato soup you can substitute
tomato sauce. You will definitely need to salt the dish if using only tomato
sauce. Using tomato sauce instead of condensed tomato soup will change the
flavor of the casserole but will do in a pinch.
