Kitchen Sink Stuffed Peppers

From stuffed peppers
Saturday night and the kids are fed and in bed by 6:30pm - whoop! That leaves a large and important question, "What are we having for dinner?" The answer: kitchen sink stuffed peppers. Yum!

No recipe tonight just a cleaning out of the fridge and throwing things in a pan. Ground beef, a white onion, a big leek, 4 cloves of minced garlic, a couple of teaspoons of freshly grated ginger, some chopped, rather limp carrots, frozen spinach, and spices including celery seed, curry powder, salt, pepper, cayenne, and thyme. All of this went into the pan and sauteed until done.

While that was going on, I also cooked up a pot of of basmati rice which went into the saute pan when done.

Three red peppers were cleaned and cut. For a topping, I mixed some feta cheese, a handful of walnuts, and some breadcrumbs together with three tablespoons of melted butter.

After a half an hour or so in the oven (375 degrees) it was dinner time! Happy Saturday to all and to all a goodnight!

  1. Don't you love when the kids are in bed early and you can enjoy a quiet dinner together? I'll bet the two of you enjoyed this tasty-looking meal.

  2. Yeah, it is just so nice to have a peace & quiet dinner. And you've made yourself some fabulous stuffed pepper to enjoy with your darling! Your kids went to bed at 6.30pm! Don't you think it's a bit too early? Then at what time they'll wake up?

  4. The kids get up at 6am no matter what time we put them to bed so a 6:30 bed time is ok!

  7. That looks romantic...mmmm. Love all those stuffed peppers. I would take that & enjoy in front of the tv with my hubby. He'll probably eat everything inside & leave the pepper aside...LOL

  8. I LOVE this title. But I have to tell you, these would be not very delicious with what's in my fridge - some blackberry jam, lettuce and cheese.

    I am about to go shopping to remedy this situation!

    P :)
