STUFFED PEPPERS VEGETARIAN 
6 med. green peppers
2 c. cooked rice
1 lg. egg, slightly beaten or 1/4 c. Eggbeaters
1 c. chopped onion
1 sm. can tomatoes or 1 (10 oz.) can Rotel tomatoes
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 c. bread crumbs or wheat germ
1 1/4 c. grated Cheddar cheese

Cut off tops of peppers and remove and discard seeds. Dice tops, discarding stems, and mix all ingredients, reserving 1/2 cup cheese. Stuff peppers and place in a round microwave casserole. Put extra filling around peppers. Peppers should fit tightly. Cover with plastic wrap, piercing 4-5 times for vents. Microwave on High 15 minutes. Sprinkle with reserved cheese. Cover; let stand 2-3 minutes. Then serve. This dish can be made ahead and frozen for later use. Do not cook until after thawed.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
