Stuffed Peppers

Why have I not made these before???  These are amazing!  Honestly, they have that taste that makes you go "oh ya" when your chewing it!  I made this one up in my head because I was too lazy to walk over the the computer to search a recipe up.  So easy, and I will definitely be making it again really, really soon!


Ingredients:
3-4 Peppers (red pepper, green pepper, orange, or yellow)
1 lb ground beef
1 Cup cooked white rice (instant stuff is the easiest...5 minutes till its done)
1 Cup pasta sauce (I used a garden flavored one and it was so good!)
3-4 dashes of italian seasoning (I'm guessing its about 1/2 teaspoon)
3-4 dashes onion powder
3-4 dashes garlic powder
1/4 Cup shredded cheese

Directions:
*Cook your meat in a skillet on the stove until cooked.  Drain the liquid/fat.

*While your meat is cooking, cook your rice according to package.  If you want rice as a side to go with the peppers, cook more than just the 1 cup.

*In a bowl, mix the rice, meat, pasta sauce, spices, and half of the shredded cheese.  Mix well.


*Cut the tops of your peppers off.  Take out any seeds on the inside.

*Spray down a muffin pan with baking spray.

*Put your peppers into the muffin tray.


*Stuff the peppers until they are full.

*Put the remaining shredded cheese on top.


*Turn your oven on to 400*F.

*Bake your peppers for about 20-25 minutes.  We liked them so much more when they weren't super cooked.  The crunchy pepper was better than the soggy pepper!  Also, since all ingredients are already cooked, you don't have to cook them for any specific length of time.
