Cathy's Stuffed Peppers
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 3 bell peppers (cut off the stem and take out the seeds)
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • ½ small onion, chopped
  • mushrooms, wiped clean with damp cloth, sliced
  • marinara sauce
  • Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
  1. Cook rice according to package directions.
  2. While rice is cooking, brown the ground beef and chopped onion. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. While beef is cooking, clean and slice mushrooms. Note: Mushrooms should be cleaned with a damp cloth, not under running water as they absorb water.
  4. After beef is cooked, remove from pan and add mushrooms to pan. Add olive or canola oil to pan if needed to saute mushrooms.
  5. While mushrooms are cooking, assemble the peppers in a greased baking dish.
  6. Once all items are cooked, stir together rice, meat and mushrooms. Spoon mixture into peppers. Cover with marinara sauce. Pour a small amount of water to cover the bottom of the pan. Cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle with your Parmesan cheese if desired. Return to oven to melt the cheese.
