GROUND BEEF STUFFED GREEN BELL PEPPERS WITH CHEESE
We had these not too long ago and we both decided that they needed a little more seasoning. We put a little hot pepper sauce on them and they were much better. I would probably include 2 teaspoons in the meat mix the next time that I make them.
Ingredients
- 6large green peppers
- 1lb beef, Ground
- 1⁄2cup onion, Chopped
- 1(16 ounce) can tomatoes, diced
- 1⁄2cup long grain rice, any available rice is fine it may affect cooking time though
