Meat-Stuffed Bell Peppers
Book: Joy of Cooking by Irma S. Rombauer (1931)

crumb: peppers stuffed with beef, rice and tomato

Joy of Cooking includes “Meat-Stuffed Bell Peppers”. Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker and Ethan Becker wrote it (1997 All New edition). This book is the big American home cookbook. It covers baking, roasting, canning and everyday family meals across a century of editions.

Differences:

Popular internet stuffed peppers fill raw green peppers with browned ground beef, rice and tomato sauce. Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder and Italian seasoning flavor the filling. The cook pours more tomato sauce over the top. The peppers bake for about an hour, with basting every 15 minutes. The ancestor is Joy's meat-stuffed bell peppers. Joy steams the peppers first. It binds the beef and rice with eggs and one fresh tomato. It tops them with oiled breadcrumbs and bakes them for about 25 minutes, with no sauce. The online version tastes saucier and more of tomato.
