Stuffed Bell Peppers

This is a great recipe. Since we received bell peppers in our Bountiful Baskets this week I decided to get them used up. This also works great with zucchini(cut length wise and clean out seeds, follow same steps.)

Stuffed Bell Peppers

2 lbs Hamburger
1- 1 1/2 cups instant rice
1/2 white onion
(diced)
1 can diced tomatoes (drained)
S & P
Season Salt
5 Green Peppers (Cut tops off, clean out seeds and cut in half to make a cup.) You can use the whole pepper but will take longer to cook :)



*Mix all ingredients together


* Spoon meat mixture into each half of the bell pepper and press in till forms a mound. I like to add alot of meat. (If there is extra meat I usually just make meatballs and put them right in the pan for those that dont like the peppers)

*Cover with ketchup or tomato sauce and S & P

*Add a thin layer of water in the pan and cover loosely with foil so that the foil doesn't touch the tops of the bell peppers.


*Bake @ 350 for 1 hour and 20 mins or until meat is done (uncover the last 10-15 minutes)
