ATOT Chefs: Put water in bottom of pan for stuffed peppers?

[shocksyde]

Yes? No? Something else? Miller Lite? Baby tears?

Half of the peppers are stuffed with a meat/cheese mixture and half are rice/cheese.

Gracias!

I've seen some recipes that say you should, but I've done it with and without and it doesn't make a difference, the pepper has tons of water inside of it.
For recipes that tell you to put uncooked rice inside, those might use up some of the pepper's water reserves, but I always precook my rice.

Cover with tomato sauce, and let them simmer in the juice.

Grill stuffed peppers? That's like grilling water.

I'm going to suggest that you clean the peppers and cook them in boiling water for three minutes. If you are using ground beef, cook that first and mix it with the rice and other ingredients. Then you can bake without liquid and the peppers will be tender and the filling well cooked.

This is how i have done this. If fully raw, you wont be able to get the meat cooked before the peppers get too soft when cooked together.

Just add some water. The water and steam, assuming you'll be using a lid, will help them cook. You could also use chicken, beef or vegetable broth.

Sorry, but after seeing you post this simple question in a thread I have to ask; did you cook the rice before stuffing it into the peppers? 🙂

Great googly moogly.

Filling should be pre-cooked anyway. But yes, grill/open flame such as the kitchen burner. Worst case, use your oven.

Not sure why you'd want to simmer the peppers in water. There'll be no texture when you're done.

If it's such a simple question, then how come I get a different answer from everyone? I came here to ask because Google searches revealed 6,000 different answers.

Rice was pre-cooked. Don't be sorry.

I didn't put anything in the pan and they turned out great.
