Home Cookin': Stuffed Peppers

For the NFL Championship Game Sunday, I invited my father out to watch the games.  I offered to make him my world-famous (exaggeration alert!!) chili but he declined.  So I reached asked myself what I was in the mood for and my brain provided me with the answer of "Stuffed Peppers."  Rationally thinking, it's doesn't seem that difficult to make and it involved tomato sauce, which speaks to the quarter-Italian side of me.  

So...I made them.  Here are the pics below with attempted witty commentary.

I cored the first pepper and all seems to be going great

Five peppers cored, no seeds (nor stems - HOLLA!).  Getting ready to be boiled.

Oh SHIT!!  Did you say "grilled onions"?  Damn right, I'm grilling onions.

Throw in a pound of ground beef and brown that shit.

The beef and onions look done, no??

My secret ingredient.  Not in the peppers, in my glass of Diet Coke
.  Jeez, you thought I'd put Jack Daniel's in stuffed peppers??
What the fuck is wrong with you??

Peppers have been stuffed.  There is only one thing missing....

Fuggin' tomato sauce!!!!!! (and a larger pan for those with a good eye)

Throwing those babies into the over at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.  

Green Peppers, all done...

Presentation is everything.....

Drank a bottle of George Duboeuf's 2011 Nouveau Beaujolais.
