6 green peppers (bell)
1 lb. ground beef
1 1/2 c. instant rice
1 1/2 c. water
1 egg
Contents of 1 env. French's meatloaf seasoning mix
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce

1. Remove tops and seeds from 6 green peppers. Simmer cleaned peppers (upright) for 5 minutes in 1/2" salted water. Drain and cool slightly before stuffing. (This step will eliminate the slightly bitter taste stuffed peppers often have.)

2. Combine 1 pound ground beef, 1 1/2 cups each instant rice and water, 1 egg and contents of one envelope French's meatloaf seasoning mix. Spoon into peppers. Place in shallow casserole dish.

3. Pour 15 ounce can of tomato sauce around peppers. Cover; bake at 400 degrees about 1 hour, basting occasionally with tomato sauce. Makes 6 servings.
