Sunday Night Dinner - Stuffed Peppers

This weekend for our dinner on Sunday night I wanted to do something with all of the great stuff we got at the market this weekend. So I decided to try my hand at making stuffed peppers. I went online and started looking through different recipes, and came up with this one to use some of the stuff I got from the market.

Reebs' Stuffed Peppers
- 4 peppers, red, orange, yellow or green
- olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- half onion, chopped
- 2-3 carrots, chopped
- 1/3 cup chopped red pepper
- 1-2 tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups cooked rice
- lemon juice from half a lemon
- cheese (I used this cheese from this farm)

Cut peppers in half lengthwise, remove seeds and stuff. Lay cut side up in a glass baking dish. Set aside.

Meanwhile, heat 1-2 tbsp olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Saute onions, carrots and chopped pepper about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, breaking up with spoon until meat is browned. Add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and simmer 5 minutes. Add rice and mix together until heated through.Spoon into peppers. Pour 1-2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 cup water and lemon juice around peppers. Cover with foil. Bake in 400 oven for 50 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with grated cheese, and cook 15 minutes until cheese is browned and peppers are tender.
