Teresa'S Stuffed Pepper Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef (can sub sausage or turkey)
28 ounces tomato sauce
28 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cups rice, cooked
2 cups green peppers, chopped
5 ounces rotel tomatoes and green chilies (optional)
2 beef bouillon cubes (can sub packets)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Brown the meat and drain. Place in large stock pot.
If you like your green peppers soft, place in microwave for 2-3 minutes prior to placing them in the pan. If you like them crunchy, add them directly to the pot.
Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, adding Rotel tomatoes if you want to make it spicier.
Reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes.
Add more tomato juice or water if it is too thick.
