Sungarten Stuffed Green Pepper

2 cups water

1 cup uncooked white rice (I used boil in bag rice due to lack of time)

Garlic powder to taste (I used two cloves fresh garlic minced)

1 15 ounce can t0mato sauce

Salt to taste

Black pepper to taste

2 cups finely shredded mozzarella cheese (I used what I had on hand which was shredded 3 Mexican cheese

• Preheat over to 350 degrees
• Place green bell pepper in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover, bring to boil and cook for 10 minutes. Remove peppers from the water and set aside in a baking dish.
• In a large saucepan over medium heat, brown the beef, drain. Return to heat and mix in onion, cooked rice, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour in tomato sauce and mix thoroughly. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Spoon the meat mixture onto each half of the green peppers. Bake in preheated oven 30-40 minutes or until mixture begins to turn golden brown.
• Sprinkle cheese over the top of each stuffed pepper, return to oven and bake until the cheese is lightly browned.
