4
large bell peppers (any color)
1
lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
2
tablespoons chopped onion
1
cup cooked rice
1
teaspoon salt
1
clove garlic, finely chopped
1
can (15 oz) Muir Glen™ organic tomato sauce
3/4
cup shredded mozzarella cheese (3 oz)
Cut
thin slice from stem end of each bell pepper to remove top of pepper. Remove
seeds and membranes; rinse peppers. If necessary, cut thin slice from bottom of
each pepper so they stand up straight. In 4-quart Dutch oven, add enough water
to cover peppers. Heat to boiling; add peppers. Cook about 2 minutes; drain.
In
10-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring
occasionally, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in rice, salt, garlic and 1 cup
of the tomato sauce; cook until hot.
Heat
oven to 350°F.
Stuff
peppers with beef mixture. Stand peppers upright in ungreased 8-inch square
glass baking dish. Pour remaining tomato sauce over peppers.
Cover
tightly with foil. Bake 10 minutes. Uncover and bake about 15 minutes longer or
until peppers are tender. Sprinkle with cheese.
