Stuffed Peppers



Ingredients:
4-6 Bell Peppers (color of your liking)
1 pound Ground Beef (in the picture the peppers are made with shredded chicken)
1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
1 cup Cooked Rice
1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 tablespoon Grated Romano Cheese
2 Eggs
1 can Tomato Sauce (I use my own homemade sauce)
Bread Crumbs
Olive Oil

Directions:
* Cook rice and set it aside to cool off
* Cut peppers long ways & clean out the peppers
* Wash the peppers & let them dry
* Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
* Combine, ground beef, garlic powder, eggs, cooled rice, cheeses, and salt/pepper; mix well
* Stuff each pepper with the meat mixture
* Pour bread crumbs onto a plate
* Heat some olive oil in a skillet on medium/high
* Dip each pepper with the meat mixture side down into the bread crumbs
* Saute each pepper meat mixture side first in the skillet until golden brown
* Flip the peppers and saute on the outside for another minute
* In a 13 x 9 dish place the peppers breadcrumb side up and pour tomato sauce over them
* Fill the dish with water until it fills the pan halfway up the peppers
* Cover with aluminum foil and bake in your preheated 375 degree oven and bake until the peppers are fork tender, about 45 minutes to one hour.

Enjoy!
