Natalie's Stuffed Peppers

This dish is from my sweet friend Natalie. It's so easy to make since it is mainly cooked in the microwave. I love to try new things, and this will definitely become one of my monthly favorites.

• 1/4 cup water
• 4 bell peppers, tops removed seeded and cored
• 1 lb hamburger meat, cooked
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1/2 clove garlic
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cup minute rice, cooked
• 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
• Cavender's all-purpose Greek seasoning
• shredded cheese to top (optional)

Place bell peppers in a shallow dish with 1/4 cup of water. Microwave for 2 minutes to soften peppers. Cook rice according to package directions. Meanwhile, cook hamburger meat in a large skillet with onion, garlic, and salt until done. Decrease temperature to low; add tomato sauce and mix well. Add rice and stir. Sprinkle with Cavenders to desired taste. Spoon rice/meat mixture into bell peppers evenly. Place peppers on a shallow dish and microwave for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Enjoy!
