The sauce that we usually put over stuffed peppers is called avar. However, I am not sure of the spelling, that's how it is said. It is made from peppers and you can get a hot one or a sweet one and it is much better than tomato sauce for my taste.

I use tomato soup
|
I use part of a jar of Bertolli spaghetti sauce in my rice/meat mixture and some more on top after they are stuffed.
|
Spaghetti sauce for me--marinara, or even pizza sauce. I've never had a taste for plain tomato sauce--don't like to order spaghetti dinners at restaurants because that's what I seem to get so often! At least that's what I taste. Incidentally, I can my own spaghetti/pizza sauce and use for all sorts of dishes.

Progresso makes a tomato basil soup that is wonderful over stuffed peppers and so easy too. Or a tomato bisque soup is another good one.
|
Have you tried one of the canned pizza sauces. That's what I use but I also make my own stuffed bell peppers. When I use jalapenos in my stuffed peppers, I use a picante sauce. If you need to thicken it up just use a tomato past that's in the tube. It's much thicker . The last couple minutes in the oven I top with cheese slices or even after pulling them out of the oven, I'll top with cheese.

What spices do you put in the stuffing. I am looking for a different recipe. I also get heartburn from green peppers. I finally convinced my DH to grow other colors of peppers. All of the colored peppers don't bother my stomach
|
I use one can of stewed tomatoes, seasoned, and one can of tomato soup, the soup adds body and seems to smoothe out the sauce, taste wise and texture wise.
|
I've never tried to make them, does anyone have a good 'Tried and True' recipe for Stuffed Peppers. My DH's mom used to make them for him and I know he'd love to have them again.
|
I always make loads of spaghetti sauce, and put a few small containers in the freezer for other uses (like a green bean casserole that I make, stuffed peppers, etc). Love stuffed peppers, but DH gets major acid reflux, so I have to save a dinner like that for when he's out of town on business...
