Cooking Our Way

6 large bell peppers
1 t. salt
1 lb. Lean ground beef
1 clove garlic finely chopped
2 T. chopped onion
1 15 oz. can tomato sauce

Cut thin slice from stem end of each pepper.  Remove seeds and membrane. Cook peppers for about five minutes in enough water to cover.  Drain well.

Cook beef and onion in 10 inch skillet over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes stirring occasionally, until beef is brown.  Drain any fat.  Stir in rice, salt, garlic and 1 cup tomato sauce.  Cook until hot.

Stuff peppers with beef mixture.  Stand upright in un-greased 8” X 2” inch baking dish.  Pour remaining tomato sauce over peppers.  Cover and bake 45 minutes in 350 degree oven.  Un-cover and bake 15 minutes longer or until peppers are tender.  Sprinkle with cheese.
