In order to be economical and efficient I browned a pound of ground beef and made a beefy tomato sauce first. Then I took half of the sauce and packaged it up to be frozen for a pasta meal in the future. The other half of the sauce got mixed with a cup or so of cooked rice and stuffed into six bell pepper halves. I had previous microwaved the red bell pepper halves in the microwave for five minutes. I topped the stuffed peppers with some sharp cheddar large shreds and baked the stuffed peppers for 45 minutes at 350F. As you can see the cheese annoyingly never melted. The peppers were quite delicious and went well with a simple salad dressed with olive oil and vinegar.
