Stuffed Peppers


4 green peppers
1/2 lb hamburger
1 small onion
1 1/2 cups cooked rice
1 8 oz can of diced tomatoes
cheddar cheese
a pinch of dried Parsley
salt & pepper to taste
*First get the rice cooking because this takes the longest.
*Then boil the peppers until you can put a fork through but do not over cook (they will finish cooking in the oven).
*In the meantime, cook the hamburger and onion. Add the salt, pepper & dried parsley to your liking.
*Preheat Oven to 375 degrees.
*Once the rice and hamburger are ready mix them together in a medium bowl. Drain the diced tomatoes and add to the bowl.
*Now you are ready to stuff the peppers. I do it in layers so that there is cheese through out the pepper. Put a 2-3 spoonfuls on the bottom of the pepper then sprinkle some cheese. Repeat until you fill the pepper. Add additional cheese on top.
*Add about a half an inch of water to the bottom of a casserole dish. Stand Peppers up in casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil. Cook 20-25 mins or until filling is hot.
This is great with all types of cheeses my favorite in this dish is Feta Cheese.
