Traditional Stuffed Bell Peppers

-6 bell peppers,

rice

beef

onion

-2 minced garlic clove

cloves,

chili powder

salt

pepper

(14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes

Cut tops off peppers.  With sharp knife, remove white membrane inside peppers.  Wash and pat dry.

Arrange peppers in baking pan.  If one is uneven, slice a bit off the bottom to allow it to stand freely.

Brown ground beef with onions and garlic.

Add seasonings, tomatoes, and rice.  Blend well.  If too soupy, cook until some juice is cooked off.

These are good!  I liked the suggestion of cutting off the bottoms to make them sit up straight. I put the bottoms inside the pepper so there was no hole and the stuffing wouldn't run out while cooking.  I had enough stuffing to stuff my pepper tops for mini stuffed peppers!  I used Muir Glen fire roasted diced tomatoes and this gave it even more flavor!!  Thanks for this great stuffed pepper recipe!
