Ingredients:

Serving

6 red peppers (green and yellow work just as well also)
1 lb ground beef ( we like to use leanest possible)
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce ( italian flavored is our favorite)
1 1/4 cups water
1 (8 oz) envelope good seasonings italian salad dressing mix
1 cup instant brown rice (white works fine too)
parmesan cheese (we prefer 4cup's shredded but i'm sure anykind would work fine, may be omitted depending on taste)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut tops and bottoms from peppers and remove seeds (you may keep bottoms on peppers, we just prefer cut on both sides) and place in a pot of boiling water for approximately 5-10 minutes depending on how soft you like your cooked stuffed peppers to be. Pull peppers from water and place on tea towel or paper towels to drain.
In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef with onion and garlic. Drain (otherwise, the stuffing will be very greasy, I've tried it both ways).
Stir in 1 cup of the tomato sauce, 1 cup of the water, and dressing mix. Bring to a boil. Stir in rice. Cover and remove from heat. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Mix remaining tomato sauce and remaining water in bottom of a 9 inch baking pan. Place peppers in baking dish and spoon filling into each one. (I typically have alot stuffing left so I really stuff the peppers and usually overfill them which gets no complaints from Vince).
Sprinkle with handful of parmesan cheese and cover with foil.
Bake 35-40 minutes or until peppers are tender. We like to scoop sauce from bottom of pan over served peppers.
Enjoy!
