Stuffed Bell Peppers



You'll need:



A Rice Cooker

1 Large frying pan

A vegetable steamer (but a pot with a small amount of water in the bottom will work in a pinch)

Ground Beef

Green Bell Peppers (2)

White Rice (Calrose rice)

1 can Tomato Sauce

Grated Cheese



Prepare rice in Rice cooker to start. While the rice is cooking brown the ground beef then drain. Clean and then cut off the tops of the Bell Peppers and remove the inner portion (seeds). Steam Bell Peppers. While the Bell Peppers are steaming mix the Ground Beef, Rice, and Tomato Sauce until sauce is warm. Remove Bell peppers and sprinkle a layer of grated cheese inside then add the mix. Continue with a layer of cheese then a layer of mix until the Bell Pepper is stuffed, top with grated cheese and add the Bell pepper tops for added flair.



Serve and Enjoy! (this is one of John's Favorite dishes....and it's soo easy!!)
