Steps
Sequence
Step
1
preheat oven to 400 degrees
2
saute chopped mushrooms and onion in butter until onions are translucent.
3
Slice the top off of each of the green peppers, leaving the peppers intact for stuffing. Scoop out the inside of the peppers to remove seeds.
4
In a large bowl, combine the onion and mushroom mixture, the rice, the browned meat, and the tomato sauce (add seasonings like oregano or thyme if you like).
5
Stuff the peppers with the filling, packing it down to make sure the peppers are filled.
6
Stand the peppers in a baking dish and bake at 400 degrees for 35 mins. I use a round cake pan for this. If the peppers are unstable, you can tie a loop of cotton string around them to hold them upright while they cook.
