Jilly's Stuffed Bell Peppers RECIPE FOR TODAY

Jilly's Stuffed Bell Peppers

6 Bell Peppers Green and Red (capsicum)...
1/2 Lb. Lean ground beef (250g mince beef)
1/2 Lb. Italian sweet sausage (250g pork mince)
1/2 Onion
1 cup cooked Rice
1 TB.Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
1) can Italian style tomatoes
1) small can mushrooms ( drained).
1/2 cup shredded cheddar/jack cheese
1/2 cup tomato sauce

Fill pot with water and bring to a boil. Wash, stem and remove seeds from peppers. Place them in the boiling water and push them down to the bottom of the pot. Boil for 15-20 minutes ( uncovered) until peppers are soft.

While peppers are boiling brown meats, onion, S&P, and Italian Seasoning. Once meats are brown and no longer pink, Pour tomato Sauce, tomatoes, rice, and mushrooms to the meat mixture and stir gently. Simmer on low for 15-30 minutes.

Line dish with aluminium foil, and spray with pam. Add peppers to dish and begin scooping meat mixture inside each pepper until it's filled to the top. Leave enough room to add the cheese later.

Bake at 350F/175C uncovered for 20 minutes or until you can see the edges turn a little brown. Remove peppers and add cheese to the top of each one. Place back in the oven until cheese is melted completely, about 15 minutes depending on your oven.

I let mine sit for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!!
