How To Make southwestern stuffed bell peppers

• 1

  Combine beef, onion, seasoning mix and egg in a large bowl. Add rice
  and mix well
• 2

  Cut peppers in half lengthwise; remove seeds and
  membrane.
• 3

  Spread tomatoes on the bottom of an ovenproof 12 X 9 inch
  baking dish.
• 4

  The liquid from the tomatoes will reduce during cooking,
  so add about a cup of water. This also helps make the peppers softer.
• 5

  Place peppers, cut side up, on top of the tomatoes. Spoon beef mixture
  into peppers, mounding as necessary. Top each pepper with salsa. Bake
  in preheated 375F oven for 40-45 minutes or until beef is cooked
  thoroughly and peppers are soft.
• 6

  Cover each pepper with cheese and return to oven, under the broiler,
  until the cheese melts; less than a minute. Serve with sour cream and
  additional salsa.
