Pizza-Stuffed Peppers

In a recent in conclusion trial of Pillsbury's Pot Pies & Casseroles cookbook, I industrial found life a recipe for Pizza-Stuffed Peppers, made alongside orzo pasta instead of rice, which intrigued me. They were existent piece of cake to arrive at equally good equally were quite good. This would alive a swell recipe for kids. 1/2 loving loving cup uncooked orzo
4 cups boiling water
6 pocket-sized bell peppers
10 ounces lay downwards turkey
1/2 loving loving cup diced pepperoni
15 oz. of pizza sauce
1½ cups mozzarella shredded
1/2 loving loving cup water

Cook the orzo inward iv cups boiling H2O for iii minutes (see note). Drain equally good equally rinse alongside usual coldness H2O hence position aside. Cut top off of bell pepper equally good equally arrive at practise clean out seeds equally good equally membranes, rinse. If pepper does non sit down downwards straight, pick out downwards a petty off the bottom.
Brown lay downwards turkey equally good equally pepperoni over medium-high hotness for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until turkey is non longer pinkish hence drain well. Stir inward pizza sauce, ane loving loving cup of cheese equally good equally the partially cooked pasta. Divide mixture evenly between the bell peppers.

Spray a 5-6 quart wearisome cooker alongside vegetable spray equally good equally pour inward 1/2 loving loving cup water. Stand filled bell peppers upright inward wearisome cooker, supercede bell pepper tops. Put lid on equally good equally develop on depression for iv to v hours. Just before serving, accept away pepper tops equally good equally top alongside remaining cheese, develop v to 10 minutes to a greater extent than or until cheese is melted.

To accept away bell peppers from wearisome cooker, parent out alongside large slotted spoon, using tongs to dorsum upwards peppers (do non squeeze).

I didn't arrive at mine inward the crockpot. Instead, I pre-cooked the empty bell peppers (wrapped inward plastic wrap) for iii minutes inward the microwave. I hence filled them alongside the filling mixture equally good equally baked them inward a 350 marker oven for 25 minutes.

NOTE: If you lot utilization my method of baking these bell peppers, develop the orzo for the amount nine minutes before mixing it alongside the residue of the ingredients. I besides added most a loving loving cup of chopped mushrooms to meat mixture during the in conclusion role of its cooking time.
