You can make this delicious main dish from start to finish in about half an hour, notes Merrill Powers of Spearville, Kansas. I like the way the garden-fresh peppers keep their bright green color and crunchy texture. Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef |
1/3 cup finely chopped onion |
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce, divided |
1/4 cup water |
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, divided |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 cup uncooked instant rice |
4 medium green peppers |
Directions:
1. Crumble beef into a 1-1/2-qt. microwave-safe bowl; add the onion. Cover and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in 1-1/2 cups tomato sauce, water, 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Cover and microwave on high for 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 minutes. Stir in rice; cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Remove tops and seeds from peppers; cut in half lengthwise. Stuff with meat mixture; place in an ungreased microwave-safe shallow 3-qt. or 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Spoon remaining tomato sauce over peppers; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover and microwave on high for 6-8 minutes or until peppers are tender. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Yield: 4 servings.
