MEXICALI STUFFED GREEN PEPPERS 
3 lg. green peppers
3/4 lb. ground chuck
1 (16 oz.) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 (7 oz.) can whole kernel corn, drained
1/2 c. quick oats
2 tbsp. instant minced onion
1 tbsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. shredded Cheddar cheese

Cut green peppers in half, lengthwise. Remove seeds and membrane. Rinse and place cut side down in a 11x7 glass baking dish. Cover and microwave on high 5 to 6 minutes. Drain. Turn peppers cut side up.

Brown ground chuck and drain well. Add remaining ingredients, except cheese and mix well. Fill each pepper with 2/3 cup meat mixture. Cover with wax paper and microwave on high for 7 to 9 minutes, or until heated through. Rotate dish after 5 minutes. After the 7 to 9 minutes on high, remove from microwave and sprinkle cheese evenly over peppers. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serves 6.

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