October 22nd, my partner Ken is on a cruise this week as part of a wedding party. I’ve been cooking Biscotti and Lasagna all day. I will be catering the monthly meeting for the Sons of Confederate Veterans by myself this month. My wife decided to cook stuffed peppers this evening. The recipe came from The America’s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook, pg 158, http://WWW.AMERICASTESTKITCHEN.COM. I watch the TV show on PBS, http://www.pbs.org/, every Saturday morning and subscribe to the Cooks Illustrated magazine www.cooksillustrated.com. While I won’t give this recipe rave reviews I would try it again. I think the ingredients we used were lacking. We used some left over brown rice that I thought was a bit mushy and watery to begin with and the 90% lean ground beef could have been caramelized a bit more for my taste. It was mild enough that our grand-daughter and eleven year old niece ate some and seemed to enjoy it. If you’re not feeding small children I would substitute the catsup and canned diced tomatoes with a medium or hot chunky salsa. Maybe add crushed tortilla chips on top, when you take it out of the oven, for a little crunch.For added heat top with Pepper Jack cheese or Queso fresco for a true Mexican style finish.
