How To Make dirty rice stuffed peppers

• Step 1
  Cut caps off the peppers and remove seeds. Cut the extra pepper away from the stems and chop that part up.
• Step 2
  Place the peppers upside down in a square glass baking dish with the 1/4 cup water, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 8 minutes.
• Step 3
  Drain the peppers and turn right side up.
• Step 4
  Preheat the oven to 375F.
• Step 5
  Brown the meats in a nonstick skillet with the garlic and thyme; drain excess fat.
• Step 6
  Add the chopped bits of peppers with the onion and celery to the pan and cook until tender.
• Step 7
  Add spices and bouillon when the veggies are tender and mix well.
• Step 8
  Add the half cup of water along with the Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and tomato paste, mixing well and cooking until the liquid evaporates, then stir in the cold crumbled rice.
• Step 9
  Fill peppers with the rice/meat mixture and sprinkle tops with the Parm. If the peppers have too much space around them, I crumple some foil to fill that so they don't turn over and spill the filling while they bake.
• Step 10
  Bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted, lightly browned and they are heated through.
