BEEFY STUFFED PEPPERS RECIPE

Semi-Homemade Cooking 2 by Sandra Lee

The only way this recipe could get any simpler is if it were to cook itself— which it practically does! It's a busy parent's best Friend, a nutritious family Favorite that kids love. The meatloaf-and-rice-style stuffing is cooked and served in hollowed-out peppers chat serve as edible individual casseroles. You can use peppers of any color, but I prefer red and yellow. They're sweeter than others and make a more colorful presentation.
