My mother gave me this recipe. They are so filling! I haven't broken down the ingredients to calories yet, but don't feel guilty eating them.'


Hearty Stuffed Bell Peppers Weight Watchers 4 pts. each serving

Uncle Ben’s tomato-basil rice (can use other flavors, too)
2 medium red, yellow or orange bell peppers (green may also be used but not as good)
1/3 lb. very lean ground beef or ground turkey
2 small cans V8 juice (about 16 oz total)
3 + TB grated Parmesan cheese
½ t. salt
¼ t. black pepper
1 small pepper, any color, chopped finely

Cook rice following directions on box but omitting butter. Cool. Meanwhile, cut top off peppers and clean insides. Combine cooked rice, meat, chopped pepper, ¼ C. V8, cheese, salt & pepper. Fill peppers. Pour small amount V8 juice into a 3 quart saucepan, enough to cover the bottom. Place peppers in saucepan. Pour remaining one can of V8 around peppers. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer. Cover and simmer, adding more V8 juice periodically and basting peppers with hot juice, until peppers are tender and meat is cooked, 45-60 minutes, removing lid during last 10 minutes to allow juice to thicken.

Place peppers in individual bowls and serve with leftover juice.

Delicious!!!
