How To Make stuffed bell peppers

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 375. Spray a baking dish sized to hold your peppers comfortably.
• Step 2
  Combine ground beef, sausage and onion in a saucepan and cook until the meat is done. When the meat is thoroughly cooked remove from heat and drain.
• Step 3
  Add the rice to the saucepan. Add the meat mixture and stir. Put about half the jar of your pasta sauce into the rice mixture and stir to blend well.
• Step 4
  Take about 1/4 of the pasta sauce you have left and put in the bottom of the baking dish. Add water so the bottom of your baking dish is covered.
• Step 5
  Wash and dry the bell peppers. Slice in half lengthwise. Remove the pith and the seeds. Set into the baking dish. Fill with the rice mixture. Top with the remaining pasta sauce then sprinkle shredded cheese over top. Cover and bake for about 40 minutes. Remove cover and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
• Step 6
  Top with sour cream if desired.
• Step 7
  ***** Notes***** You can use any cheese you prefer. I like to use a blend of cheeses for more flavor. Depending on how much sauce you enjoy, you may want to increase the amount to 2 jars.
