Tummy Pleasers

This one is an oldy, but a goody!!  I remember when my mom used to make these when I was a kid.  These just seem to me like comfort food.  Something that just feels like “home” when you eat it!!!

Stuffed Green Peppers

5-6 medium green peppers

3/4 cup uncooked brown rice (can use white)

1 pound lean ground beef

1 medium onion, chopped

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

1/4 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon salt

pepper to taste

1/2 teaspoon beef bouillon

1-2 cups shredded cheese (whatever kind you like)

Remove tops from the peppers .  Remove the seeds and discard.  In a large kettle, bring water to a boil.  Cook peppers for 5 minutes.  Remove from kettle and drain.  Cook rice according to package directions.  In a skillet, brown beef and onions.  Drain any fat.  Add tomato sauce, basil, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper and beef bouillon; cook for 5 minutes.  Stir in rice.  Add half of your cheese to the mixture.  Stuff peppers with the rice mixture.  Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of peppers.  Place upright in a shallow baking dish or casserole.  Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes.  Yield:  5-6 servings.
