Ingredients | Creole Shrimp Dipping Sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ cup finely chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup finely chopped green bell pepper

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon white sugar

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

⅛ teaspoon ground clove

1 bay leaf

4 large green bell peppers, tops removed, seeded

1 pound ground beef

¼ cup minced onion

⅓ cup finely chopped celery

1 ½ cups cold, cooked white rice

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 cup onion and garlic, and cook until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped bell pepper, tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, then season with salt, chili powder, sugar, black pepper, glove, and a bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

While the sauce is simmering, microwave the peppers until tender, about 45 seconds. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat, and add ground beef. Cook and stir until browned and crumbly, then stir in 1/4 cup onion, and celery. Drain off grease. Cook another 5 minutes, then fold in the rice and Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

To assemble, stir about 1/2 cup of the Creole sauce into the beef mixture to moisten it. Stuff the peppers with the beef mixture, and place onto a 9x9 inch baking pan. Pour the remaining Creole sauce over the peppers.

Bake peppers, uncovered, until hot and beginning to brown, about 25 minutes.
