This year's garden produced an abundance of sweet and hot peppers. I put about 8 stuffed pepper meals into the freezer to enjoy this winter. The day I made them we enjoyed a few with fresh corn on the cob back in August.
This week was one of those days when I was too tired to cook after decorating the outside of the house for Christmas. The stuffed pepper meal was perfect for dinner and I already had some salad cut up from the day before.
Stuffed Peppers
I made a simple recipe for the stuffed peppers that anyone can do. I cut the top of the peppers off and de-seed them; boil a pan of water and turn them upside down to steam for about 8-10 minutes.
- 1- Brown the ground beef with 1 diced onion.
- 2- Add pre-cooked white rice and a jar of tomato sauce. (I used homemade)
- 3- Mix thoroughly and simmer for a few minutes.
- 4- Fill the steamed peppers with the filling and put them into a casserole dish.
- 5- Top them off with your favorite cheese. I used sharp cheddar.
Bake them at 350°F. for approximately 40 minutes or until you feel they are cooked through.
Now that the garden has all been harvested and preserved we are enjoying the fruits of our labor. These stuffed peppers were as good as if I had made them fresh.
Are you a prepper like myself? I am always finding new ways to preserve the garden's harvest, how about you? Meals prepared ahead of time and frozen are the perfect way to save yourself a lot of time. Plus, you only make the kitchen a mess once and get to enjoy the benefits of many future meals.
That's how this girl rolls. Happy cooking everyone!

I always appreciate you, @ewkaw thank you!
I am learning from your method of preserving the pepper
Wow! Looking so good and delicious! The sweet corns looked just right for me!
Hi @kaminchan thanks for always visiting and being so kind. Peace and love to you. ♥
Thank you very much. I would love some cakes!
It really is a brilliant feeling when you can goto to freezer and pull out a "one I made earlier" meal!
It sure is great to have meals prepared, it gives me more time in the afternoons to enjoy fun things. ♥
Preparations like the one you do is what I appreciate about you, and yes, making large cookings and storing them in the fridge is very helpful, especially for the days I feel so lazy.
Thank you, Edith I do enjoy sharing simple ways to use the harvest. Having ready made meals is awesome.
I love having extra meals in the freezer! And I thought I was early just getting the window candles out, nevermind up!
Freezer meals are fabulous for those times when we just want to lay back. Yeah, I decorated the whole outside because it was 55° here and I don't like doing it in the cold. Three of my neighbors had the same idea as we were all laughing at how early.
I have done all the inside as well and will do a post on that soon. My son who lives in Panama is bringing his wife and my grandson here for Thanksgiving. So we are combining the two holidays while they are here. This is the first time they will have come to the States. We are all so excited.
Oh, I guess you would be. No wonder you got a jump on preparations!
