Ingredients

Main Dish

• Hamburger meat – 1 ½ lbs
• Onion – 1 medium, diced
• Garlic – 3 cloves, minced
• Cream of mushroom soup – 1 (10.5 oz) can
• Beef broth – 1 cup
• Sour cream – 1 cup
• Worcestershire sauce – 2 tbsp
• Dijon mustard – 1 tsp
• Egg noodles – 12 oz
• Butter – 2 tbsp
• Flour – 2 tbsp
• Salt – ½ tsp
• Black pepper – ¼ tsp

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente (usually 7-9 minutes). Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.
2. While noodles cook, melt 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add hamburger meat, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook 6-8 minutes, until browned and no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if needed.
4. Reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle flour over the meat mixture and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
5. Pour in cream of mushroom soup and beef broth, stirring well to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low. Let simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
6. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust salt/pepper if desired. If too thick, add reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.
7. Add drained egg noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat. Let sit 2 minutes to absorb flavors.
8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley. (Tip: For extra richness, swirl in a tiny bit of butter before serving.)

6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 20 minutes, uncovered, until bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.

• Salt – ½ tsp
• Black pepper – ¼ tsp
• Worcestershire sauce – 1 tbsp

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. If the peppers won't stand upright, slice a thin piece off the bottom to create a flat base.
3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the hamburger meat with the chopped onion and minced garlic until the meat is browned and the onion is soft, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
4. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the cooked rice and cream of mushroom soup until well combined.
6. Stuff each bell pepper with the meat mixture, packing it gently but firmly. Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. If they wobble, nestle them in a small dish or use crumpled foil to keep them steady.
7. Top each pepper with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Tip: Use sharp cheddar for a bolder flavor boost.
8. Add about ¼ cup of water to the bottom of the baking dish to create steam and prevent the peppers from drying out.
9. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden. For extra browning, broil for the last 2 minutes.
10. Let the peppers rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Gloriously cheesy on top and luxuriously creamy inside, these stuffed peppers deliver a perfect bite every time. The pepper stays slightly firm for a satisfying contrast, while the filling begs for a spoon. Serve them with a side salad or crusty bread to sop up the extra saucy bits—you won't leave a crumb behind.

3. Brush the zucchini boats with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Place them cut-side up on a baking sheet.
4. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1 lb hamburger meat, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned (about 6–8 minutes). Drain off excess fat.

Finally these baked boats come out tender yet sturdy enough to hold the luscious filling, with a crispy cheesy crown. The cream of mushroom keeps everything luscious, while the breadcrumbs add just enough texture to make each bite satisfying. Serve with a simple side salad or roasted veggies for a complete meal that’s as fun to eat as it is to say.
