Stuffed Bell Peppers

When we were dating Cody used to always get excited whenever his mom made stuffed bell peppers, so I tried out this new recipe for him this week. It got good reviews!

6 large green peppers
1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Cut thin slice from stem end of each pepper.  Remove seeds and membranes; rinse.  Cook peppers in enough boiling water to submerge, cover 5 minutes; drain.

Cook and stir ground beef and onion in 10-inch skillet until ground beef is light brown; drain.  Stir in salt, garlic salt, rice and 1 cup of the tomato sauce; heat through.

Stuff each pepper with ground beef mixture; stand upright in un-greased baking dish, 8 x 8 x 2 inches.  Pour remaining sauce over peppers.  Cover, cook in 350 degrees oven 45 minutes.  Uncover, cook 15 minutes longer.  Sprinkle with cheese.
