This is what we had for dinner tonight at the Peters household. It is one of Brady's favorite meals. I love it because it is super cheap, super delicious, super easy, and it freezes really well. We usually get three meals out of it! I found the original recipe on allrecipies.com...which is pretty awesome, and if you never have checked it out, you should do so now...well not right now, after you finish reading this post of course =)
STUFFED PEPPER SOUP
Ingredients
1.5 pounds of ground beef (give or take depending on how much you like meat)
2 green peppers chopped
1 29 oz can of diced tomatoes
1 29 oz can of tomato sauce
2 beef bouillon cubes (you could substitute a can or 2 of beef broth)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 t salt
1 t pepper
1 T soy sauce
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1 cups cooked white rice
Directions
1. Brown ground beef in large stock pot. Drain grease and add green peppers. Sautee on medium for about 3 minutes.
2. Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with juice, bouillon cubes, brown sugar, salt, pepper, soy sauce, and Worcestershire. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
3. White soup is simmering, cook rice according to directions. Add cooked rice after soup has simmered for 30 minutes. Cover again and simmer on low for 5 minutes to soak flavors into the rice.
4. Serve and enjoy immediately.
Three random things...most of the time when a recipe calls for ground beef I substitute ground pork. I have never tried ground pork in this recipe, it just doesn't seem like it would taste too good. If you substitute ground pork or even ground turkey in this recipe and it tastes good, please let me know! Second, my favorite part about this recipe is that it freezes so well, I usually get three meals out of making it one time. I just put leftovers in gallon freezer bags and freeze until we want to have it again. Third, this recipe is most like a stew than a soup, if you want it to be more liquid and less stewy then substitute beef broth for the beef bouillon cubes.
Hope you enjoy!
