Easy Stuffed Bell Peppers are a warm and hearty meal. This recipe for stuffed peppers uses an interesting combination of ground beef, ready-made rice and V8 juice. The oven does most of the work on this one.

Notes

You can also cook in a large crock pot on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

OR, in a Dutch oven on the stove-top at a low simmer for 1 ½ - 2 hours.

I love the V-8 addition to the peppers. I think that make a great alternative to tomato sauce. Do you ever add mozzarella cheese to your peppers? My husband makes a stuffed red pepper that uses a healthy serving of shredded mozzarella on top of the pepper. He cooks them at two different temperatures to get the top nice and toasted.

I have been making this recipe for years. The V-8 makes a wonderful sauce, though I do add a few drops of Tabasco sauce for just a little more kick. I use the same sauce for my stuffed cabbage.
