Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients :

• 4 large bell peppers (any color)
• 500g of minced beef
• 1 chopped onion
• 1 cup of cooked rice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 1 can of tomato sauce
• 100g of cheese

Preparation :

Cut thin slice from stem end of each bell pepper to remove top of pepper. Remove seeds and membranes, rinse peppers. If necessary, cut thin slice from bottom of each pepper so they stand up straight. In a large cooking pot, add enough water to cover peppers. Heat to boiling and add peppers. Cook for about 2 minutes, drain.

In a large frying pan, cook beef and onion over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown, drain off any excess oil. Stir in rice, salt, garlic and 1 cup of the tomato sauce, cook for about 2 minutes.

Heat oven to 350°F.

Stuff peppers with prepared beef mixture. Stand peppers upright in ungreased square glass baking dish. Pour remaining tomato sauce over peppers.



Cover tightly with foil and bake for about 15 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle grated cheese evenly on each one and return to oven for further 5-10 minutes to melt and turn golden.
