Stuffed Beefaroni Bell Peppers - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 large green bell peppers, hollowed out
    1/4 medium yellow onion, chopped
    1 garlic clove, minced (I like 1 tbsp. of the jarred variety for real garlicky flavour!)
    1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
    2 (15 ounce) cans macaroni, with beef (Chef Boyardee Beefaroni)
    1 (8 ounce) can low-sodium tomatoes, cut up
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 (4 ounce) package mozzarella cheese, shredded (part skim mozzarella is also nice!)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F.
    Place hollowed out green peppers in a pot of boiling water, completely covering them, and cook 5 min; drain and set aside.
    In a skillet, saute the onion and garlic in the oil; Add the Beefaroni, tomatoes and oregano and simmer on low for 10 minutes, stirring often.
    Stuff the peppers with the beefaroni mixture and place the peppers in a square baking dish.
    Top the peppers with the mozzarella cheese and bake in the preheated 400\u00b0F oven for 15 minute.
    Variation: Any other part-skim shredded cheese would be flavourful, too!
