1 lb. ground beef
1/3 cup uncooked long grain white rice
2/3 cup water
4 bell peppers
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
1/8 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/8 teaspoon Onion Powder
1/8 teaspoon Oregano
1/8 teaspoon basil
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
dash salt
dash pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 20 minutes. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef until evenly browned. Drain any excess grease.
Remove and discard the tops and seeds of the bell peppers. Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward. (Slice the bottoms of the peppers if they do not stand upright.)
In a bowl, mix the browned beef, cooked rice, 1 cup tomato sauce, and the remaining ingredients. Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each hollowed pepper. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the stuffed peppers.
Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, until the peppers are tender. During the last 10 minutes, add the cheese and let it melt.

My late Mother loved stuffed green peppers. After making them for her I finally capitulated and started eating them, too. I like them very much. I like that you stuffed some yellow peppers. I'll have to try it this way.
