Stuffed Bell Peppers

I decided to stick with the "stuffed" theme I have going on. There are not many things I love more than a good stuffed pepper. This is by far one of my favorite recipes ever. I highly suggest you try it. You'll be glad you did!


Ingredients:
4 Medium Green bell peppers
1 Pound 96% fat free Ground Beef
1.5 Cups Cooked white rice
1 (15oz) Can tomato sauce
1 (8oz) Can tomato sauce
2 Tbsp + 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tsp. Garlic Powder
1 Tsp. Onion Powder
3/4 Tbsp. Oregano
3/4 Tbsp. Basil
1 2pt package of Weight Watchers shredded cheddar cheese







1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Blanch peppers for 12-15 mins. I like my peppers a little on the softer side when I eat them, so I go for the full 15 mins.

3. Cut tops off of peppers, remove all seeds and place the peppers in a baking dish.

4. Cook ground beef and season as you like. I usually season mine with some onion powder, garlic powder, salt & pepper.

5. Stir in cooked rice, 15oz can tomato sauce & 2 Tbsp. + 1 Tsp. worcestershire sauce. Fill the peppers with the mixture.

6. In a separate bowl, combine 8oz can tomato sauce, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. onion powder, oregano & basil. Pour equal amounts of sauce over each pepper.

7. Top each pepper with 1/4 package of shredded cheese.

8. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
