my husband does not like stuffed peppers because the peppers are always soggie and the beef and rice is always dry. i made this the other night and he loved it and it is alot easier to make.

1 green bell pepper
1 15 oz can tomatoe sauce
1 small-med onion
1 box rice a roni beef flavor
1 1/2 lb ground meat
1 cup water
spices to taste

1. chop onion and green pepper into small chunks
2. brown meat in pan (drain)
3. in another pan combine water, rice mix, tomatoe sauce, choped onion/green pepper. heat to boil and then turn down to simmer.
4. add ground meat
5. simmer for 15-20 minutes

it tastes just like a stuffed pepper but alot easier and the peppers are not soggie. i like it served on mashed potatoes but hubby likes it by itself.
