directions

  • Sauté onions and garlic in oil until soft.
  • Meanwhile, cut peppers lengthwise and clean out seeds & membrane.
  • Add undrained tomatoes, boca crumbles and rice to softened onion mixture. Simmer until well combined. Add ketchup and mustard **NOTE** Add more or less depending on how thick/thin sauce is. It should be just thick enough to remain in peppers. Play with it and add it to taste!
  • Put pepper shells in a 13x9 and spoon mixture into peppers and cook covered with foil for 1 to 1 1/2 hours at 350°F or until peppers are soft.

  1. This recipe was great! I accidentally got the Mexican-style tomatoes, and it turned out they gave the recipe even more flavor. Will definitely be making it again!
     
  2. Made this for my vegan daughter using 2 oz. of cut/shredded Daiya dairy-free cheddar style slices, canned petite diced tomatoes, wild rice and horseradish mustard. I also added 1/2+ teaspoon of basil and of oregano. It's a delicious meal! (I suspect the nutritional chart is slightly wrong because one of these peppers can't have 31 % of our daily fat value; it's much lower, half that! Thanks for posting this great recipe; we'll make this regularly.
     
  3. I made this recipe last night and it was so delicious! Definitely not for vegetarians only. I topped mine with a little shredded cheese at the end of baking them and it added even more yumminess.
     
  4. Wow this was so easy and it was so wonderful. I made this with some fresh from the garden peppers and I cut the recipe down to 2 peppers (what I had). I parboiled the peppers until bright green to cut down on cooking time in the oven. I used canned tomato sauce instead of the tomatoes (8 ounces) and added cumin and cayenne pepper. I didn't have regular mustard so I used Dijon. I also topped these with 2% sharp cheddar cheese and it totally didn't need the cheese, the filling had such a good flavor. Thanks for posting, I will definitely be making this again!
     
  5. I loved this recipe. My teenage daughter recently decided to go vegetarian so I have been looking for recipes to try. The only changes I made were to add some lawry's seasoning salt and lots of black pepper. I also added some whole kernel corn and used tomato sauce instead of the stewed tomatoes. It turned out excellent. Will be making these again!!!

Stay at home mom of 3, horse crazy vegetarian of 9 years. My passion is my 6 year old showjumping horse, Platinum Card (aka CASH) I ride on average 6 days a week and LOVE every minute of it! My other passion is food. I was raised with strong Italian grandparents living close by, need I say more!! One of my favorite childhood memories is rolling my grandmom's homemade Gnocci (ALWAYS my special request dinner) at her kitchen table with towel lined cookie sheets of them all over the house! My other grandparents were of Irish and German ancestory and owned a resturant. I guess my love of cooking and even more so, FEEDING people has come naturally. I love to plan menus and themes and I am addicted to Recipezaar! I am married to my best friend who is an ex-Pat New Zealander who craves pies & pineapple lumps. We love travel, soccer & rugby! Teenagers are my only pet-peeve :) <br> <br>http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/293971/picasabackground.jpg <br> <br>http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/293971/PB100026.JPG
