Number Of Ingredients 12

6 to 7 large bell peppers (green , yellow , red or orange )
2 lb lean hamburger
1 medium onion , diced
2 large eggs
14.5oz. can(s) italian stewed tomatoes
1-1/2 tsp garlic powder
1-1/2 Tbsp italian seasoning
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 to 1-1/2 c cooked rice
shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese for tops

Steps:

1. Heat the oven to 375°
2. Note : sometimes I will use a packaged rice instead of making my own.
3. Wash and cut tops off of the peppers and remove the core with the seeds and the veins from the insides of the peppers.
4. Place peppers cut side up into a casserole dish.
5. Place the hamburger in a large bowl ; add all the seasonings , eggs , tomatoes (with the juice), rice and the Worcestershire sauce and mix until all is combined.
6. Stuff each of the peppers with the hamburger mixture.
7. Place the peppers in the 375° oven and bake uncovered for 1-1/2 hrs.
8. Note : the last 10 minutes of cooking time you can add shredded cheese on the tops of each pepper (if desired) and return to the oven and melt the cheese.
9. Note : Cut the extra pepper from the ends that you cut off of the tops and freeze for use in another dish...waste not ..want not!!
