Stuffed Peppers
Rachael’s stuffed peppers are fantastic! Though apparently this is a simplified version of her mom’s recipe which is even more delicious. Pretty fast dish, great for times when you find peppers on sale.

- Mix in enough tomato sauce to coat rice and beef mixture
- Mix in 1/4 can of diced tomatoes
- Place halved peppers in baking dish(es)

This was a really good recipe. I used ancient sweet peppers instead of bell. To the meat I added some chopped pepper and red onions. I used real rice
instead of minute rice. This dish had a lot of flavor; although, we did have to use a little hot sauce to spice things up a bit.
