Stuffed Green Peppers

Credit this recipe to the little booklet that came with a Weber Grill way back in 1983. I made some embellishments of my own over the years.

• 3  green peppers
• 1⁄2 lb ground beef

• 1⁄4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1  tablespoon onion, finely chopped

• 1⁄2 cup water
• 1⁄2 cup colby or 1⁄2 cup cheddar cheese, grated

Directions

1. Remove tops and seeds from peppers and cook in boiling, salted water 3-5min.
2. invert to drain & cool.

4. Add remaining ingredients except reserve 3tsp tomato sauce and the cheese.
5. Simmer for 10-15min.
6. Stuff the peppers with the filling and top with the reserved tomato sauce.
7. At this point you can either bake the peppers in a casserole dish in a 350deg oven or you can wrap them in foil, leaving the top open, and slow grill them for 35-04min.
8. At the end, top them with the cheese and bake for 5min longer.
