Stuffed Peppers


This was a little more time consuming than I would have liked. But overall, it was easy to make. I guess between cooking the rice and meat, chopping the onions, etc. it took a bit longer than I expected. But it was good, and the house smelled yummy.

Ingredients
3-4 large bell peppers
1 lb. ground turkey meat
1/2 med. onion, chopped
1 can tomato sauce
salt & pepper
1 1/2 cup grated 2% cheddar cheese
2 cups cooked brown rice

Cut peppers in half and remove membranes and seeds. Blanch in boiling water about 5 minutes, remove from water, drain on paper towels, and salt insides of peppers lightly. Meanwhile, brown meat and onions, drain. Mix in tomato sauce and season to taste w/ salt & pepper. Mix in rice and 1 c. cheese. Fill peppers with mixture, place in baking dish, and top w/ remaining cheese. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes.
