Stuffed Bell Peppers

By

Mum says this is one of the first things Nanna taught her to cook at her house. She was about 17. The measurements are "eyeballs"

Ingredients

  • 4 green bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup long grain rice
  • 3-4 cream of chicken soup (condensed, undiluted)
  • 4-6 oxos
  • cup of fried, chopped onion
  • handful of parsley, chopped
  • 1 lb. cooked, cubed chicken

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat 350F.
Cook peppers (seeded only, cut off stalk and wash out in boiling water for 5 mins., drain upside-down on a plate)
Cook the rice, drain, rinse with boiling water to fluff. In large bowl, put rice, chicken, onion + parsley and mix with 1 or a little more cans of soup, till very moist. Place peppers in an oven-proof dish and fill to brim with mixture and top each one with 1/2 tspn of pimentoe and a dab of butter.
Bake about 45 mins. till tops are crispy and crunchy.
Meanwhile, empty 2-3 cans of soup into a saucepan and add enough water to make a thick sauce. Add 4 oxos crumbled till sauce is coffee colored and heat through. Serve over bell peppers and mashed potatoes, mashed with cheeze-whiz and seasoned with salt and pepper.
Taste gravy to see if it needs more oxo.
