Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients:

6 large bell peppers

1 lb. lean ground beef (turkey would be great too!)

2 tbs. chopped onion

1 c. cooked rice

1 tsp. salt

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce

3/4 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut a thin slice from the stem end of each pepper, removing the top.  Remove the seeds and rinse.  Cook peppers in enough boiling water to cover for 5 minutes.  Drain.

Cook beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat until brown.  Drain.  Stir in rice, salt, garlic, and 1 cup of the sauce.  Cook until hot.

Stuff peppers with beef mixture.  Stand peppers up in square baking dish.  Pour remaining sauce over peppers.  Cover and bake 45 minutes. 

Uncover, sprinkle with cheese, and bake about 15 minutes longer.  Enjoy!
