Stuffed Peppers

4-5 green or red peppers (you can add more, depending on how many people you need to feed)

1 1/2 lbs of hamburger 

1 1/2 cups of rice

1 can tomato sauce

1 medium onion 

Garlic powder 

Italian seasoning 

Salt and Pepper, to taste 

In 3 cups of water add rice. Bring to a boil turn on low, cover and cook about 40 minutes. (or what it says on the back of rice bag) Meanwhile, brown hamburger in skillet. Add minced onion, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

When rice is done, add rice to hamburger. Add tomato sauce. Mix together and add salt and pepper.

Cut off tops of peppers and clean them out. Next, spoon mixture into peppers and fill to top. Add a little bit of water to the bottom of the pan. Cover with foil tightly, cook at 375° for about 1 hour or until peppers are somewhat soft.

*sometimes I add mozzarella cheese on top of the peppers before they go into the oven. 

Also, if you are using more than 6 peppers I would double the rice/meat filling.

Yummm. :) enjoy!
