I am into fast and easy meals these days. Too much time needed outdoors not inside cooking. My DH loves stuffed green peppers and it is a hassle to make, at least for me it is. I was in no mood to mess with a lot of cooking the day he asked me if I could make some so I came up with this method. DH raved about these peppers for days!
Prepare the bell pepper for stuffing. Stick in as many pre cooked pre frozen Italian style meatballs as it will hold. Pour in spaghetti sauce and bake. It took about 2 min. to make a batch!
I buy the big bags of frozen meatballs at Sam's Club and they are wonderfully for quick and easy meals when time is short and stress is high. I have stuffed squash, tomatoes, anything I could hollow out with the meatballs and added cheese, leftover rice, etc to make a very impressive meal.
Today I took leftover rice, added it to the skillet of some green onions and one cut up squash which all had been sautéed in a little oil, threw in some crumbled bacon left from breakfast, some ginger, a little sesame oil, and a raw egg. Stirred until the egg was cooked and tossed in some frozen left over salad shrimp ( or any cooked meat that was on hand). A little soy sauce and I had fried rice that my niece said was the best she had ever eaten.
Bottled grated ginger, soy sauce and sesame seed oil will last a long time in the fridge and if you have these few ingredients you will always have a great tasting Asian dish no matter what you add to the rice.
