Stuffed Peppers for Two

Ingredients

• 2 medium green peppers
• 1/2 pound ground beef
• 1 Tbsp minced garlic
• 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
• 1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
• 1/4 cup shredded Italian cheese
• 2 tsp dried minced onion
• 2 tsp dried basil
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 2 thin slices feta cheese

Directions

1. Prepare the peppers: Preheat oven to 400 F. Cut the tops off the peppers, clean them out, and place them cut side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes until soft.
2. Cook the beef: Brown the ground beef in a frying pan over medium heat. Add garlic, sauté one minute longer.
3. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine tomato sauce, rice, Italian cheese, onion, basil, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix filling with beef and cook in frying pan on medium heat until heated through.
4. Assemble the peppers: Flip peppers on baking sheet so that the open side is up. Spoon filling into peppers and top each with a slice of feta cheese. Return to 400 F oven and heat 5-8 minutes until feta cheese begins to melt. Serve hot from the oven.
