Stuffed Green Peppers

Cook the hamburger (about a pound) add onions, rice and spaghetti sauce. (Theresa used her homemade sauce) Boil the peppers for about 5 minutes. Stuff the peppers and cook on 350 for about a half hour. Also put a little water at the bottom of the pan while cooking. I cover mine with tin foil while cooking.

This is Theresa Hyde's recipe, given to me by her "survivor" friend Laney :)
I will try it, but I'll have to make it for someone other than Rog - who hates onions and green pepper :)
