DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350˚.

• Cut a circle around the top of the pepper so you can remove the top. 

• Use a spoon and scoop out all of the secrets out of all seeds and membranes inside the pepper.

• Add the peppers to a pot of water. Heat to boiling and cook for 5-7 minutes; drain.

• While peppers are boiling, brown the ground beef (or turkey) until cooked through.

• Add in onion and cook until softened. Drain and return to skillet.

• Mix in 1/4 cup of cheese. Add rice, salt, garlic salt and 1 cup of tomato sauce to the beef. Cook until all is hot.

• Spoon the beef mixture into the peppers. Stand upright in a small 8x8 baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the peppers.

• Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over top and bake for 5 more minutes.
