Stuffed Peppers

My beloved and I both LOVE stuffed peppers. However, as much as I love them I had never actually made them before until tonight. They turned out SO well! We both love the flavor combinations and he proclaimed that these were the best stuffed peppers he had ever eaten and asked that I include them in our regular meal rotation! I hope you enjoy them just as much as we did!

Ingredients:
6 green bell peppers, tops and seeds removed (reserve tops)
Salt to taste
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
16-oz. can diced tomatoes
1/2 c. long-grain white rice (I actually used basmati rice since it is his favorite and it was so tasty!)
1/2 c. water
1 tsp. soy sauce
1 pinch ground black pepper
8-oz. can tomato sauce


Chop reserved green bell pepper tops and measure out 1/4 cup.
Bring a pot of water to a boil; Cook whole green peppers until slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
Drain and season inside of bell peppers with a little bit of salt.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook and stir beef, onion, garlic, and chopped bell pepper in the hot skillet until beef is browned, then drain.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Stir diced tomatoes, rice, water, soy sauce, black pepper and 1 tsp of salt into ground beef mixture.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover skillet with a lid, and simmer until rice is tender, about 15-18 minutes.
Stir in tomato sauce.
Stuff peppers with beef/rice mixture and arrange in a baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil.
Bake for 30-35 minutes.
