Directions:
1. Chop the tomato (or measure out 1 cup drained diced canned tomatoes) and set aside.

2. Preheat the oven to 350º
Bring a large pot of water and the tablespoon salt to a boil and carefully drop the peppers into the boiling water.

3. Bring back to a boil, and boil the peppers for 5 minutes. Remove and drain.
Prepare the peppers by cutting around the stem on the top and removing the stem.

4. Remove as many of the seeds as possible without cutting into the bottoms or sides of the peppers.

5. Cook the ground meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it is browned, then add the hot water.

6. Cook until the water evaporates, about 5 minutes, then add the tomato and onion and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often.

7. Stir the cooked rice and additional salt, and black and white pepper into the meat mixture and stir to combine.

8. Remove from the heat and stuff the peppers with the meat mixture.

9. Put the stuffed peppers into a baking pan that holds them snugly, and bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

Personal Notes:
I prefer to use red or yellow bell peppers with this recipe but it's your choice on which one you use OR why not do a variety.
