Preparation

• Combine "beef", onion, salsa, seasoning mix and egg in a large bowl. Add rice and mix well.
• Cut "lids" off of peppers. Spread tomatoes on the bottom of a 13 X 9 inch baking dish.
• The liquid from the tomatoes will reduce during cooking. This also helps make the peppers softer.
• Place peppers on top of the tomatoes. Spoon beef mixture into peppers, mounding as necessary. Bake in preheated 375°F oven for 40-45 minutes or until peppers are soft.
• Top each with extra salsa. Cover each pepper with cheese and return to oven, under the broiler, until the cheese melts.
• Serve with sour cream and additional salsa.
