Stuffed Bell Peppers

Sauté in 3 Tbs of oil:
-½ onion
-3 mushrooms
-1 clove garlic
-½ lb of cooked ground beef
-2 diced tomatoes (can used canned)

Add: parsley leaves, onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper, hot sauce

After adding spices, add:
-8 oz cream cheese
-½ cup bread crumbs (2-3 slices)

Place in 2-4 red bell peppers (or orange or yellow... green isn't nearly as good), with a slice of pepper jack cheese on top (if desired). Bake in cake pan with a little bit of water in the bottom @ 375-400 F (depending on how hot your oven is) for 15 minutes. (Extra filling is good over baked potatoes too for another meal.)
