Stuffed Green Peppers

By TrayH

Real stuffed peppers your family will love. This recipe will make more filling than required for 6 peppers. Because it is somewhat time consuming, I like to freeze remaining mixture for later use.

Ingredients

• 6 green peppers, tops removed and insides rinsed with cold water - turn upside down on paper towel to dry.
• 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
• 1 1/2 lbs. ground sausage
• 1 bag of long grain rice, cooked (do not use instant rice)

• 1 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
