4 large green peppers
3/4 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. uncooked rice
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 large green pepper, chopped
1 tsp. salt, or to season
1/4 tsp. pepper, or to season
1- 15 oz. can tomato sauce
1/2 c. water

Rinse and cut a thin slice from the stem end of each pepper. Remove white fiber and seeds. Rinse cavities. Drop into boiling water and cover; simmer for 5 minutes. Remove peppers from water and drain. Sauté the meat, onion and chopped pepper. Cook until slightly tender. Add uncooked rice, seasonings, tomato sauce and water. Heat to a simmer, until rice is slightly tender. Fill peppers with the meat mixture.

Bake at 350°F for approximately 30 minutes. If desired, top with bread crumbs and bake 10 - 15 minutes longer.
