4 whole green or red peppers 1 cup rice 3/4lb ground beef, turkey or veal 1 med. onion, chopped 1/2 cup marinara sauce 1 cup ricotta cheese 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese 1 clove garlic, minced salt, pepper & garlic powder to taste
Boil rice in 2-1/2 cups of water till water is gone. "Core" the peppers & scald them in boiling water for about 5 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat but let the peppers simmer in the water. On high heat, cook the meat in an ungreased, non-stick or well seasoned skillet. When the meat is about half way done, add the chopped onion, & continue cooking till the meat is done. Lower to med. heat & stir in the garlic, cooking long enough for the garlic to brown. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine marinara sauce, ricotta & salt. Add the rice followed by the meat mixture. Pepper & garlic powder to taste. Fill the pepper shells with the mixture & arrange standing up in a casserole dish. Top with mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly & golden. Serve immediately.
