Ingredients
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 4 cups prepared instant brown rice white can be used
- 2 - 15 ounce cans diced tomatoes
- 6 large bell peppers tops cut off, cored and cleaned
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350, and prepare a covered baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare rice according to the package. You can add a bit of beef bouillon to the water when you make the rice if you want a little extra beef flavor. Add about half of the rice to the bottom of the pan.
- Place peppers on the rice, reserving tops. Fill each bottom of the pepper with some ground beef, leaving enough room to top with rice and tomatoes. Reserve remaining rice.
- Take remaining ground beef, roll into balls and place around the peppers.
- Add rice to the peppers, and put the rest of it around the peppers in the dish.
- Salt and Pepper the whole thing.
- Pour tomatoes over the top of all of it.
- Salt and Pepper again. Place tops of peppers on. Cover with lid to baking dish. (make sure you spray the lid with non-stick cooking spray,too!!)
- Bake 1 1/2-2 hours, or until beef inside peppers is no longer pink.
