Equipment
- 1 baking dish

Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup long grain white rice uncooked
- 1 cup water
- 6 green bell peppers
- 2 8 oz cans tomato sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the 1 lb ground beef until evenly browned.
- Remove and discard the tops, seeds and membranes of the 6 green bell peppers. Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward. Slice the bottoms of the peppers, if necessary, so that they will stand upright.

- Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each hollowed pepper.
