Average Jane Shares A Recipe

It's been a while since I posted a recipe, so here's one of my favorites from childhood.

Stuffed Peppers

3-4 medium-sized bell peppers
1 pound ground beef
1 small can tomato paste
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 cup Minute® Rice, uncooked
Salt and pepper to taste

Cut off the tops and stems of the bell peppers and scoop out seeds and pulp. Mince the pepper from around the stem and set aside. Briefly blanch peppers in a pot of boiling water (1-2 minutes) and drain. Mix ground beef, tomato paste, onion, garlic powder, minced bell pepper, Minute Rice, salt and pepper. Pack mixture into pepper shells and place in an oven-proof dish. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40-45 minutes. Remove foil and brown for 10-15 minutes.

Wow, that looks tasty. I actually wanted to make something like this a few months ago, but I couldn't find a good recipe along these lines (although I didn't try very hard, admittedly). I've already printed this off and I'm going to make it tonight!
