Thank you very much!

*The finished cooked peppers looked DELICIOUS!

*HOWEVER - I found the musical background VERY

annoying and distracting!

*If a musical background is an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY -

--how about just some good, old fashioned, easy listening music?

*Have had interesting discussions as to whether to cook stuffed peppers in:

1) in the oven (I do), or

2) on stove top in covered pan with small amount of water -

--guess that is sort of steaming.

* "Food for thought" - so to speak. ;-)

[emoneyblue]

[Black874Diamond]

ok i have just recently started cooking more advanced stuff but bell peppers are a questions i have

Can you do this with yellow bell peppers or with other kinds of peppers?

[freitasex]

@Black874Diamond

Sure, you can use any peppers that you like.

I personally prefer the green bell peppers in this recipe.

Thank you for your question!

[mjhalas20]

[RonsVideoKeepers]

You have starved me to death....Going to try this Yummy Yummy

[freitasex]

@RonsVideoKeepers

This is from my childhood, one of my favorites, please try it, thanks!

[nicnacsams]

Thanks freitasex, I am a novice when it comes to cooking but have made stuffed peppers a couple of times. I use a beef stroganoff type mixture and no tomatoes for a little change of pace. It works well, especially since I have kids that don't like tomato. Thanks again.

[blue2765]

How long do you cook them in the oven? Aaron

[freitasex]

@blue2765

45 minutes in the oven, thanks!

[rosieflores21]

Delicious.

[freitasex]

@rosieflores21

Please if you cook at all.... make this... Thanks :)

[TRUWOO]

I really like ur idea to cook the meat. I grew up not cooking the meat but blending everything together. That takes so much time off. I am truly going to try your way.

[freitasex]

@TRUWOO

Tell me what you think if you do make it :)

Thanks!

[spirit7462]

Were going to need a bigger bowl!

[danac352]

i have never seen stuffed peppers made this way. they look so good, im going to try to make them the way you just showed me. thank you very much for this video!

[freitasex]

@danac352

I grew up with this recipe... I hope you do try it, thanks!

[bubbeth2]

would like to make a bunch of these for my brother....what is the best way you have found to freeze them? Before or after cooking??????

[freitasex]

@bubbeth2

I would freeze after baking them, thanks for your question!

[notreallydaedalus]

I wonder how this would be with bleu cheese instead of cheddar.

[freitasex]

@notreallydaedalus

Hum, thank just may be excellent, thanks for the idea!

[freitasex]

@notreallydaedalus

Had to write back to you again... I think your idea is wonderful :)

[notreallydaedalus]

@freitasex Haha my pleasure -- I plan to try it myself!

[123rissababy]

[freitasex]

@highflyinpb28

Wow, thanks :)

[JuliVakula]

[freitasex]

@JuliVakula

Wow, thank you for telling me... I thank you so very much :)

[spicymona]

Awesome! Thanks!

[freitasex]

@spicymona

Thank you also for subscribing :)

[Asia28282]

I loved it.

[freitasex]

@Asia28282

Oh excellent, thanks so much for writing back :)

[Asia28282]

I am making this right now..So far it's coming along swimmingly

[freitasex]

@Asia28282

Oh my, this is one of my all time favorites!

Did you like it?

[Bralor89]

well yes, papercuts recipe is little bit different... but you know it already....his way ;-)

But I prefer yours!

Have a nice week.

Best wishes from germany

[Bralor89]

Hi, ehhh..is that possible, that you got these recipe from papercuts777? in one video you told us about him...lately i watched his videos..maaan, he is crazy! But a great cook!

[freitasex]

@Bralor89

Yes papercuts is crazy and a very good cook.

These are not his recipes, they are mine.

His stuffed peppers is different than this, isn't it?

[zbrenn]

wow! thank you for the recipe! it became a new family favorite!

yuuum!

[freitasex]

@zbrenn

It is good isn't it... thank you SO MUCH!

[HoodaThunket]

I soooo wanted those other 5 peppers!!! This video earned my subscription! Can't wait to try them and I won't change a thing.

[freitasex]

Thank you so much!

[Obfrocker]

I can't wait to try this...however, I plan to cheat. I will use 1 to 2 packs of Uncle Bens 90 second spanish rice. I think I might use a leaner meat such as ground turkey or ground chicken. If I decide to incoporate some of the other things in the list, I will use brown or long-grain wild rice (still Uncle Bens 90 second stuff), fat free cheese, sea salt, light olive oil, lowsodium seasoning, and I might buy two packs of stop light peppers...for color and variety. Gettin' hungry already. -=80)

[baiNEKO]

ha-ha! This is one of my earliest childhood memories: someone fed me green stuffed bell-peppers when I was like 4 or 5 and it was the best thing I'd ever tasted! (my parents fed me plain yogurt with granola and like avocado sandwiches & vegetarian stuff so) ha-ha! cool, I'll try this vege-style & report back later

[freitasex]

Wow, I brought back an early memory for you, wow!

May I suggest that if you make a vegetarian style.. to use a red or yellow bell pepper, but you can fix it the way you want to.

Orzo would be good in a red pepper with some parmesan provided you have cheese in your diet and gosh what else... the possibilities are almost endless.

Thanks for your comment!

[AlohanMabuhay]

great recipe! I want to try this! I heard the temp at 350, but for how long?

[freitasex]

Bake for 40 minutes.

Thanks for your question!

[JoeHell67]

Hi,

that's what i call good comforting food!

since it's hard to get good english cheddar here in germany (England is so close...duh!)

i substituted it with german Emmentaler cheese, anyway, them babies turned out real fine!

Very familiar here in germany and i think around the world, perfect to make in a dutch oven!

Thanks bro'

Joe from Germany

[freitasex]

You made them!

Excellent, and glad you liked them!

[kokohawk]

I've never had stuffed green peppers before so I had to try this recipe and OMG I loved them. The only thing I did different was to put some garlic in with it. Thank you!

[freitasex]

Excellent, so glad you liked them.

Thanks for telling me!

Garlic is good too!

[SouthernSky]

I hope you ate well on Thanksgiving :)

[freitasex]

Thank you :)

I eat well every day, well most every day.

[CobaltO18]

dude!!! this looks really good!!!! im doing this on sunday for my gf :D  i bet shes going to love it!

[freitasex]

You have to make it and thanks!

[Arhana23]

wht oil did u use to cook onion and can i use shellots? and did u use tomato sauce or puree?

[freitasex]

I used olive oil, but it does not matter what kind of oil that you use for the onions.

Also, it was tomato sauce in a can both times.

Thanks so much for your questions!

[freitasex]

Here in the USA, tomato sauce and tomato puree is almost the same thing, it was not ketchup!

Thanks!

[ToxRoxDu]

Good job Michael. Looks delicious.

I like a nice white mixing bowl, and that looked like a fine one.

Another superb, class A video.

[freitasex]

O Thank You Tox...

That bowl was made in the 50's

I am weird and like to collect old mixing bowls, I have many ones that I NEVER use and just sit around.

[ouchyfoot]

Great recipe. I use my moms [passed on...fed 8 kids} I never had cheese in it though. I like to chop up some garlicky kielbasa to mix with the ground beef. I also like to keep the tops intact so the peppers have a little hat {it might rain} My mom always used undiluted Campbell's soup...the whole meal was yummy for all ten of us.

Thanks for keeping this multicultural recipe alive...a million versions...all delicious and cheap...depending...

[freitasex]

What a GREAT idea, to keep the hat on, I will do that next time that I make them!

Thank you so much!

[Scorpion11381]

So many different ways to make stuffed peppers. This is another delicious version :)

[freitasex]

This is the Indiana/Kentucky/Illinois version.

I love it so much.

Thanks Rene!

[drew7473]

the tri-state,same place i live.this look's good.i flood mine in tomatoe sauce..cook on......

[freitasex]

I agree lots of tomato sauce!

Thanks for subscribing too!

[jfsoller]

Thank you. Looks great. My kind of comfort food.

[freitasex]

I agree, I just love this dish and thanks!

[battlecreekonline]

You are my favorite cook. This looks great. I loved your chili dogs too.

[freitasex]

Thank you!

Wow thank You!

[kokohawk]

I don't think I've ever thought of a green pepper as being really yummy but after seeing this I'm going to have to try it because damn does it look good! I might have to add some garlic in it but other than that, I'm ready to eat them right now! *wipes saliva from chin*

[freitasex]

You have to make it.... one of my favs!

[papercuts777]

Yup, I knew mine were too dry.

Thanks fer the correct way to make these things.

[freitasex]

I doubt that big time!

[fezan84]

That is beautiful! I may have to make this for company sometime!

What's the reason for boiling the green peppers by the way? Could I just stuff them raw and bake them with the cooked filling?

[freitasex]

I boil them to soften them, they will never really cook in the oven if the boiling is not done and they will be crisp.

I prefer mine soft and tender.

This is a favorite of mine with mashed potatoes.

[chinesedude001]

i remember these. me mom made me those with weird asian ball shaped vegetable when i was young lol

[freitasex]

Really how cool!

[ipraice]

wow i love it!

[freitasex]

Thank you so much!

[avhcbeaver1]

I hate you!

why is that you always put up videos when I'm hungry.

my 2 youngest kids stopped getting ready for school because these looked so good, now I have to go get all the stuff for it tonight

[freitasex]

LOL, sorrie!

[regamom3]

I've never made stuffed peppers with the meat cooked, I'll try it!!! Looks really yummy !!!

[freitasex]

Wow, really!

I have never made them with raw meat!

[lillypad3320]

you eat the meat raw? gross. can't you get really sick from that? i have never heard of stuffed peppers with raw meat before. lol.

[regamom3]

No, I stuff the peppers with raw meat then bake! Sorry for the misunderstanding!

[Bralor89]

Fantastic recipe! Maybe next week i'm going to try this!

For how long you were baking the bell peppers in the oven?

And, can I take also yellow or red peppers? Or what's the reason you've choosen the green peppers?

[freitasex]

I love your question.

I personally like green ones better for this, just love that green taste.

To me red or yellow ones should be stuffed vegetarian style and serve them with a side dish.

Ok, for the other question, I am not sure.

I did not pay attention, sorry!

I would guess probably 40 minutes.

I know that I would look at them every so often, and baked them till they were brown on top.

Thanks!

[MGABBYB]

Thanks for reminding me that I haven't had stuffed peppers in way too long.

I know what's for dinner tonight...

[freitasex]

You know, that is a one of the main reasons that I like to watch cooking videos and shows, to give IDEAS!

Thanks Mary!

[daiser720]

You know, everything that you make sounds intimidating because I've never made any thing like it, but after watching you cook, I feel like attempting to cook, plus, beef, cheese, and rice sounds awesome!

[freitasex]

It is awesome, please try it!

[lambo5688]

That looks really good!

You sound like Garfield from Parking Wars!

[freitasex]

Thanks LOL for the Garfield.

[nameofthepen]

Never boring! You cook so many different great things. :-)

[freitasex]

Thanks!

[peanutsthyname]

i am now addicted to your videos......

[freitasex]

Um, addicted?

LOL you are GREAT!

[scent007]

loved it

[freitasex]

You have been on my mind lately.

I have not forgotten the Sweet and Sour Soup.

Even though I am not a big fan of sweet and sour.

[scent007]

.. i can't imagine my self having a menu in any Asian restaurant and don't order sweet and sour soup .. it's one of most favorite soups and the tomato soup

[silverscreamgrl]

One of my fave meals!!  :)))))

[freitasex]

Oh, me too!

I wonder what you do differently.

I wonder if you have a video on this too!

I have to go look.

[silverscreamgrl]

I don't know why, but I feel that it's a little more time consuming than I'd like it to be ...but it really isn't. So I tend to buy the STouffer's microwave ones. Those are really good, except that the outside of the bell peppers feel like plastic, so I sit and peel it off.. lol

[Jeerdin]

I...i think i was drooling a bit during this LOL!

They loook soooooo good , like oh my god!

I don't even care, i'm making this tomorrow, michael, I AM!

[freitasex]

Please make it, you will love it!

[YMSFSFNDS]

didnt know these could be stuffed

[freitasex]

You have to cook this or get someone to cook this for you!

Please!

If you want you can change the cheddar cheese to mozzarella cheese.

[MasOvaltinePls]

I was eating while I was watching and hated the fact that what I was eating was a cup noodle :(

[freitasex]

Cup noodles are good too!

[hallbe]

I so want to come over for dinner! ;-)

[freitasex]

I would rather move back to the west coast and be your cook!

[a13084u2]

Your version of this classic dish looks really nice. I am serious you should look into cooking for small dinner partys in the clients homes. You are quick in the kitchen and obviously have the talent. Again Xcellent looking stuffed peppers.

[freitasex]

Wow, thanks another great comment from you.

How nice you are!

[baconsoda]

My stuffed pepper problem solved - PAR BOIL first!

I stopped making these because, even though the filling was good the peppers were not.  You have fired up my enthusiasm for stuffed peppers again.

Many thanks,

Brendan

[freitasex]

Yes, boil them up for 15 minutes to soften them.

Please make them again!

~Michael :)

[theresa42490]

can you make enchiladas?

[freitasex]

oooo that sounds good!

[krukka]

Mmmm.. that looks SO good! Thanks for posting, love your vids.

[freitasex]

Thank you!

[Foxcb27]

It looks so good Michael. I know something like that but not so expensive... Maybe some time i try this recipe... thanks.

[freitasex]

Pavel!

What is the dish called?

I would love to know about it and possible video it!

[combatnub123]

wow i wish i could have sum....

:0

[freitasex]

I should have invited you over!

[SouthernSky]

Niceee... I like stuffed peppers.

With stuffing from this recipe you should be able to cook famous italian savoy cabbage rolls called - Involtini Di Cavolo - tremendous meal. Involtini Di Cavolo recipe. Google it guys, you wont regret I promise.

[freitasex]

I will look it up.

Thanks!

[JuneBugPins]

My husbands grandmother use to make this for us....He is deployed right now...I'll be sure to use your recipe when he comes home! Thanks so much...looks wonderful...and I could smell the aroma from my memory of eating at Grams... :c)

[freitasex]

I am sure that he would love it, what a nice treat for him!

[foggj76]

looks great....where's the garlic?

[freitasex]

Garlic would be fine for this, I have never added it when I have cooked this, great idea!

[anavywife28]

oh how cool is this, i made this 2 nights ago I wish i had ur recipe because mine were bland, ur looks amazing!

[freitasex]

I cannot imagine anything that you would cook would be bland, you are an amazing cook!
