Easiest FAT Stuffed PeppersIngredients (use vegan versions): 4-6 large green bell peppers, tops removed and insides cleared out
1 cup cooked rice of your choice
1 chopped onion
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs, if you can't find vegan ones, make your own by grinding some slices of bread and toasting the crumbs in the oven with some Italian herbs, you can also buy plain bread crumbs and add some Italian spices.
1 clove of garlic, chopped
I package of thawed beef substitute, I like the Morningstar or Boca crumbles. You can also just crumble some vegan Boca burgers if you can't find crumbles.
1 jar of vegan spaghetti sauce of your choice
large bowl
deep baking dish
Directions:Preheat oven to 375 F.
Mix the rice, onion, bread crumbs, garlic and beef substitute in a large bowl until well blended. Stuff each pepper as much as you can. Really pack it in there! Set your 4-6 peppers in the deep baking dish and spoon any extra filling around the outside of the peppers. Pour as much sauce as you'd like over the peppers and extra filling. I like to use the whole jar but I am a tomato sauce freak. Bake the peppers at 375 degrees F for about an hour. They are done when their bright green color has turned a bit olive and you can easily pierce the peppers with a fork. Enjoy!
*These are also nice to cook all day long in a slow cooker. Just pop them in the cooker in the morning and enjoy their yummy goodness for dinner when you get home.
