~Stuffed Green Peppers~ submitted by Jewels |

6 green peppers 1 lb ground beef 1 medium onion, chopped 1/2 cup long grain rice, uncooked 1 lb 12 oz can stewed tomatoes 4 oz shredded cheese (marble jack, american, etc) salt and pepper Cut tops off peppers and remove seeds and inner membrane. Boil a pot of water, and place peppers into boiling water for 5 minutes. (for crisper peppers, omit placing them in boiling water) Drain the peppers. Sprinkle salt and pepper inside each peppercup and place upright in a casserole/baking dish. Brown ground beef and onion in a deep frypan. Drain. Add tomatoes and rice and simmer until rice is tender, about 15-20 minutes. Add cheese and simmer, stirring occasionally til cheese is melted and blended in. Fill pepper cups with rice mixture. Place in 350 degree oven for 1/2 hour. I sprinkle extra cheese on top of each stuffed pepper cup, for variation. |
