I used to do stuffed peppers until I came across this recipe. I usually use a mixture of green, yellow, red or orange. As an aside the salt content isn't as high as it shows since the original called for garlic salt and I replaced it with garlic powder.


One-Pot Stuffed Pepper Dinner

1 pound lean ground beef 
3 garlic cloves, minced 
3 cups chopped green pepper 
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) Italian diced tomatoes 
2 cups water 
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste 
8 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese, divided 
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper 
1 cup uncooked instant rice 

In a large nonstick saucepan coated with cooking spray, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add green pepper; cook and stir 3 minutes longer. Stir in the diced tomatoes, water, tomato paste, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, garlic salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Stir in rice. Remove from the heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Yield: 6 servings.

Now that sounds good! Will have to try this later in the week - my wife has her heart set on an old fashion stuffed pepper for tonight.
