Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients:
about 6 cups cooked rice
8 medium green peppers
1 large onion, diced
2 pounds of ground beef
1 can condensed tomato soup (do not add water)
1/2 to 1 can tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatoes (drain and discard juice)
1/2 TBS salt
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Pepper

Directions
Cook rice. Remove tops and seeds from peppers and cut in half lengthwise. Cook peppers in boiling salt water about 5 minutes. Drain and cool slightly. Place 12 halved peppers in a shallow baking dish (spray with Pam) and generously salt each pepper. Dice remaining 2 peppers

In a large pan, brown ground beef. Add onions and cook until transparent. Stir in condensed soup, tomato sauce, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, diced peppers, salt and pepper. Add about 6 cups rice and blend well. Stuff each 1/2 pepper with rice mixture. Fill the spaces between the stuffed peppers with extra rice mixture. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Add grated cheese last few minutes. Serve with ketchup.

Serves 12.
