(Ingredient total cost: $ 13.00 rounded up. Great for those on a budget. $1.62/person)

2 cups prepared brown rice (instant or otherwise)
1 lb lean ground beef
1 large tomato
1/2 cup mushroom (I use baby portabello)
4 large bell peppers of any color (I use green)
2 eggs

Preheat oven to 375 (F)
Cook rice according to package instructions, set aside. Brown 1 pound lean ground beef, seasoned to taste preference. ( I use salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder).
Drain the ground beef, and mix with the rice in a medium bowl.
Chop tomato and mushrooms and add to the rice and meat mix.
Slightly beat eggs and then mix with the stuffing mixture.
If you like a bold flavor, add more seasoning of your choice at this stage as most of the seasoning will have drained with the grease from the meat.
Cut peppers in half, lengthwise, removing the membranes and seeds, and then fill the halves with the stuffing mixture.

Place on a cookie sheet or any other baking pan and cover with foil loosely to avoid rice drying up. Check peppers at 30 minutes for tenderness of preference and adjust time accordingly.




There were 2 leftover when I made them the other night, and in the morning, I chopped the peppers, mixed with the filling, warmed it up, and then put into wraps. Was pretty great, and I really wanted to share this here.
