This is different from all of the others, hence the title…Stuffed Peppers III
6 bell peppers, any color, medium or large
1 1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
8-oz tomato sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp chili powder
1/3 cup Mozzarella cheese
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Slice off the top of the peppers and remove the ribs and seeds. Either microwave them on a plate or baking dish (whatever fits in the microwave oven) covered with plastic wrap for 4 min.
Heat a large skillet, and cook the beef, onions, garlic, and spices.
Add about 2/3 of the tomato sauce in, and save the rest for a topping. Cook until the beef is cooked through and the onions are soft.
If it gets too dry add a little water.
Loosely fill the peppers with the beef mixture, and sit upright in a baking dish. Spoon some of the leftover sauce on top of each pepper. Add about a tbs of cheese on each one.
Bake for half an hour in the oven. Serves 6
