Stuffed Green Peppers
4 green Peppers
1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 cup brown rice
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 - 8 oz cans of hunts tomato sauce
1 tsp of minced garlic
1 1/4 tsp of salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 egg
optional - grated parmesean cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cassarole dishes with pam cooking spray and set aside. Cut your peppers lengthwise in half. Remove the insides of the pepper and wash. Par boil the halves for 3 minutes. Set aside. Saute your 1/4 cup cup chopped onion with a bit of pam cooking spray or extra virgin olive oil so they aren't so crisp. Remove from the stove and set aside. Mix beef, rice (I use minute rice), egg, 4 oz of sauce (1/2 of an 8 oz can) salt and pepper together. Divide the mixture into 8 parts and stuff each pepper half and place each one upright into the cassarole dish. Pour the rest of the sauce, 1 1/2 cans over the rest of the peppers. Cover with foil and bake for 30-45 mins at 350 degrees. Sprinkle with grated parmesean cheese if you like once done cooking. Enjoy!
