I love making these stuffed bell peppers as they are really simple to make and most of the cooking is done in the oven, so it makes for an easy meal without me having to watch it constantly on those busy days. You will need the following ingredients:
Recipe:
3 large bell peppers
1 pound of ground beef
1 clove of garlic
8 oz of tomato sauce
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
1 cup of pre-cooked rice
1 to 1 1/2 cups of cheese. shredded
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Preheat a large skillet to medium high heat and add the ground beef, onions, garlic and salt and pepper and cook this until the beef is cooked through.

Drain this and then add the cooked rice and about 1/2 of the tomato sauce, saving the rest for topping the bell peppers.

Wash and slice the bell peppers open from the top to the bottom so that you have two equal pieces. Remove the seeds and the membranes. Tip: If you like your peppers softer you may want to boil them in water for 4 – 6 minutes. I like mine with a bite to them so I do not do this.
