Stuffed Bell Peppers - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb. very lean ground round
    4 bell peppers
    1 medium-large onion, chopped small
    2 small cans tomato sauce
    2 c. cooked rice
    bacon bits
Preparation
    Cut top off bell pepper and remove stem and seeds.
    Put peppers in boiling water about 5 minutes or until they turn lighter in color.
    This helps to keep the pepper from splitting when stuffed. Spray a large skillet with Pam and saute the onion and the top slice off pepper (chopped).
    Add meat and cook until red is gone from meat.
    Add the rice and tomato sauce.
    Mix well and fill peppers.
    If there is any stuffing leftover, put it in the baking dish and put peppers on top.
    Add a few bacon bits on top of each pepper and bake at 350\u00b0, covered, about 1 hour.
    One pepper equals approximately 1 vegetable, 3 meats, 1 starch and 1 fat.
