Pizza Burger Stuffed Peppers

Did you know green bell peppers are loaded with vitamin C??!!! 

In my family, we have this awesomely simple, but delicious recipe for something called Pizza Burgers.  I also tease that its a Great Depression recipe!  I would give you the recipe, but then it wouldn't be a family secret.  But I took these Pizza Burgers and decided to try and make Stuffed Peppers out of it.  And this is what I came up with.

4 Bell Peppers (any color)
1 pound lean ground meat (4 red)
15 oz can no salt added tomato sauce (2 purple)
6 oz can tomato paste (1 purple)
3 Tbs oregano
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp raw honey
1 tsp onion powder
2 cups cooked brown rice (4 yellow)
Pink Himalayan or sea salt
Black pepper
EVOO
1 cup mozzarella cheese (optional) (4 blue)

Cook brown rice and set aside. Brown ground meat in a pan, drain if necessary. In a bowl, mix tomato sauce and paste, garlic, honey, onion powder, salt to your preference. This is clean ketchup. Mix meat, rice, and a little more than half the ketchup, oregano, and half the cheese. Cut tops off peppers, clean out seeds. Set upright in deep baking dish. Lightly olive oil, salt and pepper the insides of the peppers. Stuff each pepper. Put top of pepper back on and bake at 375 for 45 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and bake 5 more minutes till melted.
