The ingredients for Stuffed Pepper are:

4 medium sweet red peppers

1 cup chopped celery
2 tsp minced garlic
1.5 cups brown rice
8 oz. extra lean ground beef
Cooking spray
1 tsp each of black pepper, basil, oregano, thyme

Here is how you make Stuffed Pepper:

PreparationPreheat oven to 350?F. Cut out stem ends of bell peppers and discard. Scoop out seeds. Cut in half length-wise. Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot and blanch the peppers until tender-crisp, about 1 minute. Drain and cool under cold running water. Set aside. Spray cooking spray in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add celery and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add ground beef and cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, just until it loses its pink color, about 2 minutes. Drain the fat. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and mix in rice, 1 cup salsa, and spices. Stuff the peppers with the mixture and place them in a 2-quart casserole dish. Spoon the remaining 1 cup salsa over the peppers. Cover and bake until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through, 30 to 35 minutes.
