Old-Fashioned Stuffed Peppers in Tomato Sauce

 

6 medium red, yellow or green bell peppers, cut in half lengthwise (top to bottom).
Remove seeds and membranes. You will have 12 halves.

1 tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped (fresh or canned)

Place peppers in a 9x13-inch pan. Combine the remaining ingredients and divide stuffing between the peppers, smoothing the tops. Pour Quick Tomato Sauce over the tops, cover pan with foil, and bake at 350-degrees for 40 minutes. Uncover pan and continue baking for 20 minutes, basting now and again. Serves 6 as a main course or 12 as a side dish.
