Ingredients


    Green bell peppers - 6 medium
    Lean ground beef, 85% - two pounds

Directions

Cut off tops of green peppers and scoop out seeds. Discard tops and seeds. Wash peppers and set aside.

In large bowl, mix ground beef, egg, Minute Rice and onion soup mix together well with hands. Divide this mix evenly into 6 balls.

Stuff each meatball into a green pepper. Repeat process until all peppers are stuffed. Place peppers into a large pot. Pour tomato sauce over the peppers. Add one cup of water to pot.

Cover with lid and simmer on medium-low heat for approximately 90 minutes. (Slow cooking is the key here.) Stir gently occasionally to ensure sauce/peppers don't burn.
