STUFFED RED PEPPERS

This is our alternative to regular stuffed peppers because we were tired of red sauce. So, we opted for a white sauce alternative! The girls do not like peppers so this is a couple's treat!

Discount meal of the week #3: STUFFED RED PEPPERS
Extra items purchased: hamburger (1/2 pound), Philly Italian herb cooking cream, 4 red peppers
Total price of extras: $8

4 red peppers
cooking cream
1/2 pound hamburger
minute rice
salt and pepper
oregano
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In saucepan: cook minute rice according to the directions on box
In skillet: brown hamburger, drain. Return to skillet and add salt, pepper, and oregano. Then add cooking cream and cooked rice. Heat through. Salt and pepper to taste.

Clean red peppers (remove tops and clean out the inside for stuffing). Put into a small round pan.
Fill with the meat/rice mixture to the top of the pepper (if you have enough, it can be a little above the top of the pepper...should stay in place). Put 1/4 cup of water on the bottom of the pan. Cook for approximately 30 minutes or until pepper is at desired doneness (some like the pepper softer than others, we like ours to still be firm).
