Stuffed Green Peppers

Here is the original recipe looking at the pic you can tell I obviously didn't follow it exactly.

Stuffed Green Peppers

1 1/2 c. tomato juice
1/2 c uncooked rice
2 T chopped onion
1/2 lb ground beef uncooked
1/2 c grated cheese
salt and pepper
4 green peppers

place tomato juice, rice, and onion in a pan over low heat. Cover and simmer until juice is absorbed (about 20 mins). Combine rice mixture with ground beef, cheese, salt and pepper. Take the green peppers off and cut of the top and take out seeds then fill with mixture. Place in casserole and cover with foil and bake at 300 degrees for about an hour.

I had large red peppers that needed used so I used those instead and since they were large I cut them length wise and got 2 stuffed peppers from one pepper. I also used turkey instead of beef. I didn't have tomato juice either so I used a 8oz can of tomato sauce and water instead. the cheese I used was cheddar.

I honestly don't remember where this recipe came from I just have it on a card:)
