Ingredients:

• 3 cups of rice to 4 1/2 cups of water
• 1 1/2 lb. of lean hamburger
• 1 large onion
• 1-14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes. (Use Fire Roasted for extra flavor.)
• 1 Tsp of Salt
• 1/2 Tsp of minced garlic, yummy!
• 6-8 medium sized Green Peppers
• Small can of mushrooms - optional
• 1 Tsp of chili pepper
• 1 Tsp crushed red peppers
• 1 can of tomato sauce
• 1 lb. of grated cheddar cheese

 Utensils:

• 2 - 4 qt. Dutch Ovens
• Knife 

Instructions:

Step 1:

• Brown hamburger in pan on Medium High.
• Add rice and water in Rice Cooker and turn on. 
• Chop onion in medium to large sized chunks and add to cooking hamburger.
• Add 1 Tsp of salt.

• Add 1 small can of mushrooms
• 1 Tsp crushed red peppers

Step 2:

• Cut tops out of peppers and clean out seeds.
• Boil water in another Dutch Oven and "Blanch" the peppers for two minutes. This will "loosen" the pepper up enough to prepare them for the stuffing.
