Stuffed Bell Peppers
I got this recipe from my friend Jeri Heal. I’m not sure where she got it, but I love these stuffed bell peppers. I think one reason these are so good is that you take a few minutes to brown the rice. It gives them a great flavor.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
While water is boiling, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet and add onion and rice.
Cook rice just until it slightly turns golden brown.
Place hamburger in a large bowl. Add eggs to hamburger and season with salt, pepper and season salt. Add rice and mix.
When water boils, add cleaned bell peppers and cook for 5 minutes. Drain water from peppers and pour water out of pot.
In the pot add the 1/4 cup butter. When melted add flour and cook for a few minutes. Add the tomato juice and whisk until smooth, season with salt, pepper, garlic salt, onion salt and season salt until it taste good.
Take the cooked bell peppers and stuff with hamburger mixture and set them in the tomato juice.
Cook for 30-45 minutes until hamburger and rice are done. Occasionally spoon sauce over the peppers.
Serve peppers with tomato sauce.
