Stuffed Bell Peppers-no rice!

I love this recipe!


1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 egg, whisked
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 Tbsp parmesan cheese (fresh makes a difference)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp basil

Mix well... fills 2 bell peppers.

Sauce...

1 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup H2O
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp vinegar
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp worchestershire
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp parsley
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

I know this seems really involved. It isn't.
Mix the sauce, baste over the peppers; every 10-15 min or so. Bake at 350, about an hour. Or until it looks good. I cut the peppers in half, lengthwise, before I fill them. Mostly because it makes it easier to eat.  Its fairly spicy, you could cut out, or reduce the red pepper flakes if you like.

Moms Jerky Recipe

I have no clue where Mom found this, but its awesome! Its great on beef, venison, antelope, whatever!! Just remember, adjust the garlic SALT accordingly. The wild game really absorbs the salt.



1/4 cup Worchestershire sauce
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp garlic salt
1 tsp onion salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp liquid smoke


It works great on whole meat jerky, or ground. For wild game though, drop the garlic salt down to 1 tsp, and add in 2 tsp garlic powder. It really does make a difference!
