Tasty Stuffed Peppers

1. 1

   Put fresh ground meat into frying pan along with all other ingredients and cook meat until browned. Drain fat if necessary.

2. 2

   Cut the tops off the peppers, just below the stem indentation. Take seeds out of the bottom and discard. I always save the top part around the stem and cut it off for salads and other dishes later. More leftovers.

3. 3

   Rinse peppers thoroughly and place in a small microwavable baking dish, open side up. Microwave on high for about 4 minutes, or until slightly steamed. This takes the place of having to parboil them in a big pot of water.

4. 4

   While the peppers are in the microwave, mix all the remaining ingredients, except for 1/4 cup of the cheese, in a large mixing bowl. Incorporate well.

5. 5

   Remove peppers from microwave and stuff with your ground beef filling. Top with remaining cheese and bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
