Stuffed Green Bell Peppers (Oamc) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 green bell peppers
1 lb ground beef
26 ounces spaghetti sauce
29 ounces tomato sauce
1 cup water
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
5 cups instant cooked rice

Preparation

Cut off the tops of the peppers and remove the core and seeds. Remove the stem from the tops -- dice up the tops; set aside.
Boil the green peppers completely submerged for about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Fry ground beef until done -- add diced green peppers and cook until the darken; then drain any grease.
Add tomato sauce, spaghetti sauce & water, turn stove to low and let simmer for a minimum of 20 minutes. Simmering longer won't hurt it!
Turn off heat and add instant white rice and stir til all rice is saturated. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes.
Remove lid and slowly stir in cheddar (I often add extra cheese).
In a pan or casserole dish stuff the pre-cooked peppers. Put extra rice stuffing in the pan next to the stuffed peppers.
For 1/2 the servings simply freeze the other half. If you are making this for OAMC then you freeze it at this point.
Bake in oven at 350\u00b0F for 20 minutes then serve! To heat frozen meal simply heat at 350\u00b0F for 20 minutes or until heated through out.
