How to Make Stuffed Capsicums

Overview

A capsicum is the Australian term for pepper. In Britain it is the common word for red, green and sweet peppers. The mild form is known as a bell pepper in America. Stuffed capsicums are a dish that is prepared in many places worldwide. Stuffed capsicums take around 1 1/2 hours to prepare.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

Bring to boil the rice and water in a saucepan. Reduce heat and cover for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Cook the ground beef in a skillet until it is browned. Add the Worcestershire sauce and stir.

Step 4

Remove the tops, membranes and seeds of each capsicum. Arrange the capsicums in a baking dish so that the open top is facing upward.

Step 5

Dice the onion into small pieces and add to the ground beef.

Step 6

Mix the rice, ground beef, tomato sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper together in a large bowl.

Step 7

Spoon out equal amounts of the filling into each capsicum and place in the oven.

Step 8

Mix the melted butter and Italian seasoning together in a small bowl.

Step 9

Bake the capsicums for 1 hour, while basting them every 15 minutes with the butter mixture. You can optionally sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the capsicums 15 minutes before they are done.
