Wanted to make cabbage rolls but had two green bell peppers that were at the "use or lose" stage.

Ingredients:
1 packet Savory Choice chicken broth concentrate in 1 cup hot water
1/2 cup Basmati brown rice (mostly to be used later for cabbage rolls)
1/2 pound prepared meat loaf (from my local butcher)
1 huge green bell pepper
ketchup (by eyeball)
Sri Racha (by eyeball)
Wochestershire sauce

I prepared the Basmati in the chicken broth. There was about 1/4 cup of chicken broth not absorbed by the rice. I drained this excess chicken broth into a olive oil coated 2 cup capacity pyrex bowl. Mixed in some ketchup, Wochstershire sauce and Sri Racha into the broth and stirred making a tomato sauce. I spooned the pre-seasoned meatloaf into the blanched green pepper and spooned in some of the chicken broth/tomato sauce between the inside of the pepper and the meatloaf until it overflowed (leaving about 1/2" tomato/chicken broth still in the bowl). I used a ketchup/Sri Racha for the top glaze. Baked in the pyrex bowl at 350 F. until internal temp reached 145F.

It was good!

I will use the remaining rice for cabbage rolls this Saturday.

Thanks for the suggestion to bake in tomato sauce. Way better than plain water.

These are baked, and use biscuit dough for the wrapping. They're filled with either potatoes and peas or ground turkey and onions.

Grecian chicken, rice pilaf, and stir fry veggies.

Took about five minutes to fix tonight because the first two just needed zapping in the microwave, and the veggies take about four or five minutes as they've already been cut up and are in a container so I just take out what I need and stir fry!
