- 2 or cups of cooked rice, bulgar wheat or your other favorite grain (prepare according to package)
- 1 lb. browned ground beef, loose sausage, Gimme Lean (or equivalent in prepared veggie crumbles)
- 1 jar of your favorite tomato sauce
- optional Cheese/Daiya, breadcrumbs, etc.
- PEPPERS! 6 medium or 4 large.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Mix the Sauce, beef/sausage/whatever and the rice in a big bowl. Core and devein the peppers, then cut them in half vertically.
Stuff pepper halves generously with filling. Bake for 40 minutes or until peppers are tender. Top with cheese and/or breadcrumbs with about 10 minutes left in the baking time.
***
You don't have to cut the peppers in half. I usually do if they're GIANT peppers or if I'm planning on freezing the leftovers for lunches. A whole pepper is nearly impossible to reheat at work without destroying it.
