Cheeseburger Pepper Cups

By Addie

I like to serve my grandkids something special, and this is one of their favorites. They like red or yellow peppers because they're sweeter and look more appetizing.

Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet red, yellow or green peppers
• 1/2 pound ground beef
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cups cooked brown rice
• 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Cut peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds; set aside. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the rice, tomato paste, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic salt and pepper. Spoon into peppers.

Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; pour broth around the peppers. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Yield: 4 servings.
