STUFFED GREEN PEPPERS
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground pork sausage or ground pork
4 eggs
1 cup Italian style bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves fresh garlic
salt
pepper
Italian seasoning
1/2 cup cooked rice
4 large green peppers, sliced in half
2 8 oz cans tomato sauce
Grease bottom of pan with olive oil. Mix meat, eggs, bread crumbs, cheese, garlic, and all seasonings in large bowl (DON'T ADD TOMATO SAUCE. IT GOES ON AS A TOPPING). Add rice and mix together. Slice green peppers so that you have 8 halves. (You can also slice off the top of the pepper and use the whole pepper instead). Stuff peppers with meat mixture. Place in pan and pour both cans of tomato sauce over top and along bottom of pan. Cook @ 350 F for about 1 hour. Serve with rice or mashed potatoes. Serves 4 people, 2 halves each.

David and I loved this recipe. We found that there was no need for a side of rice. It is satisfying as is, and there is rice in the filling. It was so tasty. I made a point of not buying diet lean ground beef for this recipe, just "lean" (whatever that is..) so there would be more flavor. The flavor of the filling was fantastic. I used bulk pork sausage instead of ground pork as the original recipe calls for. The peppers I bought were massive and thick, so even after an hour there was still some crunch. So if you don't like that, be sure to buy peppers that are not as big.
