- 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- ¾ cup uncooked instant rice
- ¾ cup water
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes with juice
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 6 large green bell peppers
- 1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
Directions
Step 1
Brown beef and onion in a large skillet or medium stock pot over medium heat. Drain fat.

Step 3
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Tips
The peppers may bake longer or shorter depending on how tender you like them.
