STUFFED PEPPERS WITH GROUND BEEF & RICE
Inspired from Southern Food, these are quick prep and smell phenomenal while baking. It's a great way to use up the bounty of peppers from the summer garden. I increased the herbs, onion and garlic from the original recipe since it seemed to be lacking some flavor. This is a family favorite, which freezes well. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as we do!

- Use a variety of fillings: In addition to ground beef, you can also use other fillings such as rice, beans, corn, cheese, and vegetables.
- Season the filling to taste: Add your favorite herbs and spices to the filling to give it flavor. You can also add a bit of hot sauce or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Stuff the peppers tightly: Use a spoon or your hands to stuff the peppers tightly with the filling. Make sure that the peppers are filled to the top.
- Bake the peppers until they are tender: Bake the peppers in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through.
