Stuffed Bell Peppers - 6 Points
1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 small onion, finely minced
1/4 cup green peas
1/4 cup grated fresh parmesan
3 garlic cloves, minced (I used my press)
1 tsp minced fresh basil
1 tsp minced fresh thyme2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 bell peppers, tops removed and seeded
1/2 cup tomato sauce
Rinse peppers, cut off tops and remove seeds, set aside. In a large bowl combine ground beef through paste, mixing well. Stuff peppers with beef mixture and top evenly with tomato sauce. Place in a baking dish and fill dish with water, about half way up the peppers. You can use any peppers you like but a variety is nice!
*For added decorative presentation, return tops of bell peppers to the dish when you remove the foil and finish baking with the rest of the dish. Serve on top like in the picture above.
*I was out of fresh basil and thyme so I used 1/4 tsp dried instead and added some parsley :)
