Ingredients:

Hamburger, Peppers, Onion, Garlic Cloves, Rice, Beef Broth, Diced Tomatoes, Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese (not pictured), Italian Seasoning, Parsley, Salt, Pepper  ...Mushrooms would be good in this, but I didn't have any.  :-(

Set your oven to 400 degrees.

Boil about 1/2c to 1c of rice in 2c of Beef Broth.  Boil the rice till it's done.  If you're using Minute Rice, follow the directions for 1 - 2 servings and boil it in Beef Broth.

Chop up your Garlic and dice 1/2 of the onion.

We like lots of Garlic.  :-)

In a bowl, put your 1lb of Hamburger, Chopped Garlic, Diced Onion, Salt, Pepper, Parsley, 1T Italian Seasoning, and set aside.  

Don't forget to check your rice.  :-)

Cut a lid off of your Peppers.

Pull out and trash the seeds.

Pull out the ribs and trash them.  If there's any seeds left inside, just rinse them out.

Once all the juice has boiled off of your rice, pour it into the bowl that has the hamburger in it.  Let's let that cool for a bit, don't want to burn our hands.

In that same sauce pan, pour in your Tomato Sauce, Diced Tomatoes, Salt, Pepper, 1T Italian Seasoning, Parsley, and we like ours a little on the sweet side, so add 1/4c of Sugar.  Stir and let that come to a boil.

Mix your hamburger mixture.

Stuff each pepper tightly.  Any extra meat, crumble in the bottom of the pan.  I didn't have any left over this time.

Pour the sauce over each pepper and into the pan.  Place the pan onto a foil covered cookie sheet and place into oven.  Bake for 45minutes to 1hr.

Oh man!  doesn't that look yummy?  See why I highly recommend you put a foil covered cookie sheet under the pan?  :-)

Take one and cut it in half.  Lots of juice coming out, and it looks so good!

Pour some of the sauce over it and sprinkle with Mozzarella Cheese.  And there you go!  :-D

Enjoy!

If you tried this, let me know what you think.

Thanks! :-)
