Stuffed Green Peppers

My mom used to make these all the time when we were kids, yummy! They are very flavorful and very easy to make. I suggest using tomato paste and a can of flavored tomatoes, it gives it an extra good taste. I also added fresh Romano cheese on top too.

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef-browned
onion-finely chopped
celery-finely chopped
1/2 cup uncooked rice
4 large green peppers
1 can tomato sauce or 1 small can tomato paste (I recommend tomato paste)
Optional: 1 can flavored tomatoes ( I highly recommend this!)

Directions:
1. Brown meat with finely chopped onions and celery. Add the rice and tomato sauce to the meat and stir together. Clean the green peppers and cook them separately in water for 20 minutes. Cut the tops open on the green peppers. Spoon the meat mixture into the large peppers. Place them in a cake pan with foil on top. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. You may make them ahead of time and refrigerate before baking.
