Mexican Stuffed Peppers


I made these last night for dinner and they were very good but the texture of the meat was very soft. Maybe adding an additional egg might do the trick. Also it was made in the pressure cooker so maybe that made is softer than usual. You can definitly make it on the stovetop(which is how I normally make my regular stuffed peppers) Definitely worth a try. This recipe comes from Taste of Home magazine with a few tweeks from moi. Enjoy!

4 green bell peppers
1 lb ground beef
1 1/2 cups ground tortilla chips
1 cup salsa
1 medium onion diced
2 tsp cumin
3 cloves garlic chopped
1 egg (I would try 2)
1 /2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
sour cream
shredded mexican cheese blend
1 28oz can crushed tomatoes

Add all ingredients except sour cream, cheese, tomatoes and peppers
Mix well
cut tops off peppers and clean the inside
stuff peppers with meat mixture
put in a pot (i use a 5 quart macaroni pot)
top with top of pepper
pour tomatoes over peppers
cover and put heat on medium-low and simmer for about an hour or until peppers are cooked
I served these with rice and the sauce from the peppers
Top with sour cream and shredded cheese.
Enjoy!!
