Stuffed Peppers

This was a regular weekday meal for my family when green peppers were in season. As a child I always added ketchup to the tomato sauce on mine.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 large onion- chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked rice
  • Salt & pepper
  • Tomato sauce

Directions:

  1. For the stuffing, brown ground beef in skillet, with onion.
  2. Add cooked rice and season (sometimes I add corn and you could use about 1/3 cup finely chopped celery).
  3. Select smooth peppers. Cut in half lengthwise, remove stem and seeds, place in boiling water for about 7-8 minutes or until almost tender. Drain.
  4. Stuff each pepper half and place in shallow baking dish. Top with tomato sauce.
  5. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
