Sweet Peppers

January 28, 2012 By Katrina

Happy Saturday! It seems like it’s been years since the last one went by. I slept in way too long, but I guess I needed it. Even Frankie let me sleep later than normal. Every time I rolled over and saw the clock, I would check the end of the bed. The big fuzzy butt was either asleep or rolling around on his back purring.

After my favorite Southern breakfast, eggs with cheese grits, I got busy checking over some financial stuff. We are refinancing the house and getting a fantastic interest rate, moving a student loan a new bank (Just say NEVER AGAIN to Sallie Mae), and changing banks. We are putting all 3 things in a new bank and I had to go through several months of statements to make sure I change account numbers when we move everything this week.

After that, a couple of Lifetime movies and a nap demanded my attention. Why do some of those movies just seem so ridiculous? Seriously, if you hear something outside, don’t be the girl who is TSTL—Too Stupid To Live. If you must go outside to investigate, carry a weapon. Preferably one in which you have registration and training and can use many feet away from crazy killer person.

I did my second tempo run for my spring half marathons.  The schedule was a 5k at 85% of my pace. I don’t want to admit how long it took me to figure out how to calculate that pace. I’ve never done any kind of training where I needed to figure out a pace. I just ran until I was done. This new way of training is a definite learning curve but I needed to step up my training. Time to get serious if I’m going to reach some of those finish lines.

I have no idea why they are called sweet peppers. There is nothing sweet about them. I never could figure out what people were talking about when they said peppers are sweet. I just don’t get it. But, whether or not I could taste the sweet, I made a batch of stuffed peppers in the Crock Pot. I’ve never slow cooked them. I saw a recipe for this in a magazine and wanted to see how it worked.

    Bell Peppers are called “sweet peppers” to differentiate from “hot” peppers. For the same reason there is sweet paprika and hot paprika.

    What size can of diced tomatoes do you get? It doesnt state how many ounces…

    • Katrina says

      July 18, 2014 at 7:09 pm

      A regular 14-15 oz can, depending in the store and brand. Not the big 28-30 oz cans.

    I made this today and it is awesome! I’ve made stuffed peppers for 40 years and love them. This recipe is different, just as easy to prepare and tastes better than mine ever has. Thank you so much for such a great recipe and meal.

    Best,

    P.S. I like your post too, with relaxing and napping on a Sat. That’s my kind of day. And I, too, would go outside with a weapon if I heard something, maybe take an axe? LOL! –Sorry if I sound scary… Hey, YOU started it! 😉

    why is it called sausage stuffed peppers, when it is made with ground beef? Am I missing something? Sounds wonderful either way, was just curious.

    • Katrina says

      July 18, 2014 at 7:11 pm

      I’m not sure where you saw Sausage mentioned. It is not in this post.

    unbelievably delicious!! I’ve recently tried using shredded chicken instead of the beef….incredible!!

    • Katrina says

      August 26, 2014 at 5:58 am

      Great idea!! I need to try this with some random chicken breasts I have laying around.

    Is the ground beef uncooked?
    Also, does it make a difference if the rice is put in uncooked?
    Thanks!

    Have you tried this in the oven? If so, what cook temp and how long did you cook it for? I’m attempting it at 375 for 20 min and hoping for the best.
