Stuffed Bell Peppers

This recipe was submitted by Michele Saunders.

2-3 bell peppers

1 lbs ground beef

2 cans tomato sauce

1 can tomato paste

2 cups cooked rice (we use "sticky" rice, but any will do)

salt & pepper to taste

shredded Wisconsin cheddar cheese

brown beef, drain and add sauce, paste and Salt&Pepper and mix well. Mix in rice. Slice the bell peppers and line a 9x9 baking dish with them. Cover with the rice mixture and top with cheese. Put in a 350 degree oven just long enough to melt the cheese.

1/4 cup ketchup + more if desired for top

2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Mix together until well blended, cook in bread pan at 375 for 60 minutes or until done (160 inside temp). I like to cover the top with more ketchup during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.
