Mini Stuffed Peppers

Last Saturday while Elisabeth & I were at the park, Pat was working at the Botanical Center.  I have mentioned it before, but he's part of the Master Gardener program.  So he volunteers at stuff, and has some great knowledge on plants & gardening!  Well, on Saturday he was given a HUGE bag full of these mini peppers.  (I can't remember what the name was, but they look a lot like little bell peppers)  Tonight is their monthly meeting and it's his turn to bring food, so I decided to make stuffed peppers!  They can all try a dish out of the garden that they each volunteer in :)

 
Start with the little peppers.  Cut the tops off & de-seed, rinse.
 
 
For the stuffing, I used:
 
1 pound ground beef, cooked & drained
1 cup rice
1 small can of tomato sauce
 
Approx 1 T each of:
Italian Seasoning
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Worchestershire sauce 
 
Mix it all together!
 
You can use whatever seasonings you have on hand- fresh would probably have tasted better, but I don't feel like going to the store right now :)
 
 
 
 
Stuff each of the peppers nice & full!
 
 
Bake at 350* for 20 minutes!
 
 
I'll let you know how the group liked it!
 
PS- TOTALLY NOT A PALEO RECIPE!!!  If you left out the rice & added more beef & maybe some veggies, you would be on track!
