Stuffed Green Peppers or Spanish Rice

I have had friends order Stuffed Peppers in restaurants because they said that they don't know how to make it at home. My reply has always been, "If you know how to make Spanish Rice, you know how to make stuffed peppers". That's the truth, because that's all that it is. With this recipe, you can either stuff peppers with it, or eat it without the peppers...either way, it's great and gives you leftovers!

Here's the recipe: Stuffed Peppers or Spanish Rice

1 pound ground hamburger
basil to taste
onion, chopped
cheese slices
1 can tomatoes, crushed
oregano to taste
garlic powder to taste
pepper and salt to taste
rice, cooked
1 can tomato sauce
green peppers (I get 4 for two people, unless you are doing Spanish rice, just get one.)

Brown hamburger, onion and green pepper (if you are strictly making Spanish rice). Drain grease. Add the rest of the ingredients, mix well. Grease pan and stuff peppers with the Spanish rice, and place into the greased pan. Bake 350* for 30-45 minutes.

Enjoy!
