Welll…for the mom who needs it a bit faster n hassle free..take your raw beef, rice (soaked for a day before hand,) tomatoes, and diced ONION; mash together. Stuff in gutteted peppers. Place in LARGE pot with lid, cover peppers with tomatoes and fill pot half way up peppers with water. Cover n simmer for about 45 min or until beef is cooked brown. Add the cheese n corn if u want.

thanks for recipe – was planning on making stuffed peppers this week so will use your recipe as we have many tomatoes and green peppers ready to harvest – will use fresh tomatoes – and dress them up to be like your canned tomatoes with chilies for even lower cost.

suggestion – did you know you can make potatoes in the crockpot? i do it often in the summer. just prepare as though for baking in oven and put in crockpot on low all day. house stays cooler and you get a yummy baked potato for toppings/mashing/whatever.

Andrea ^^^ Canned tomato sauce is not the same thing as tomato soup. Throwing some tomato puree and corn syrup on some cabbage does not sound very delightful.

And the recipe sounded great, except for the sweet potatoes! You could have cut those out of the recipe and been just $.80 over budget.

You should definitely look into growing your own vegetables at home, I grow most of my herbs from home and am looking into growing tomatoes and green peppers next year. It saves a lot of money and is extremely gratifying to grow, cook and eat your own veggies and herbs.

But I understand, $5 dinners are hard to come by from the store. Lovely site, excellent job and I definitely look forward to reading more recipes.

My mother used to use the “stuffing” and roll it in leaves of cabbage and cover it with tomato sauce (or more likely, canned tomato soup) for a yummy stuffed cabbage. Throw some carrots in the sauce and mmmmm…

I’ve been wanting to try these too, but bell peppers are EXPENSIVE! I noticed that they are on sale this week 2/$1 so maybe fate is telling me to stuff some peppers….

Have you ever tried cutting up the green peppers and baking at 350 for about 30 minutes covered. Thats what I do. And you don’t use as money green peppers and it cost less. And its so much easier to just eat the green peppers too!

It happens to everyone at some time or another. I love stuffed peppers, but I don’t make them except in summer when peppers are cheap.

These look very good!! Even at 7.00 that’s not bad for a meal.

Of course will we will forgive you! Only once in all this time is excellent…and besides I feel your pain. Peppers here range from $1.99-2.99/pound. I’ve been buying chopped frozen peppers because they are cheaper per pound, but I know this wouldn’t work for this recipe.
