  Freeze Meal –

  Here is my favorite recipe that I make for my family.

  6 large green peppers
  1 lb. lean ground beef
  1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  1 (16 ounce) can of diced tomatoes
  1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
  1 tsp. basil
  1 tsp. oregano
  salt and black pepper to taste
  1 bag of instant white rice
  1 cup shredded cheddar cheese     

  Brown your ground beef and chopped onion in a large skillet on low. While it’s browning cut the tops off of each pepper. Rinse the seeds out from the inside cavity. Place in a baking dish. Boil your white rice according to package directions, drain out the water. In a large bowl combine: diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, basil, oregano, salt, black pepper and rice. Stir in the ground beef and onion mixture.

  Optional: You can stir some chopped green pepper into this mixture if desired.

  Spoon mixture into each shell. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 minutes. Remove and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. Place back into the oven for 5 minutes or until cheese has melted. Makes 6 servings.

  How To Freeze

  Let them cool. Wrap each individual pepper in plastic wrap. Place 4 at a time into a 1 gallon sized zipper closure bag. Label and freeze. They will keep up to 6 months in the freezer. When you are ready to use, defrost them in the microwave and then microwave reheat them for 5 minutes. Remove from microwave and sprinkle with some fresh cheese. Instant dinner on a busy night.
