I love having dinner recipes that offer a lot of flexibility if I forget to buy an ingredient, or just want to make something a little different.

This is a good one that is very forgiving of substitutions.  Enjoy!

Stuffed Peppers

• 6 medium size bell peppers (any color)
• 1 pound ground beef (or turkey)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 can (8 oz. size) tomato sauce (or leftover spaghetti sauce) plus just a little extra for the baking dish
• 1 cup soft bread crumbs (or leftover cooked rice)
• 1 cup grated cheese (anything will do, really)

1. Cut tops off peppers, remove seeds and precook for 5 minutes in boiling water.
2. Chop tops and add to beef after browning. Add salt, pepper, onions, garlic, and tomato sauce. Add crumbs.
3. Fill peppers. Top with grated cheese and sit upright in baking dish with light layer of sauce water in the bottom.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
