Stuffed Peppers

My sweet sister-in-love Shannon gave me this recipe which she got from her Grandma.  This is the only picture I could find of us that I'm not 8 months pregnant and lookin' like a whale.  It's obviously from my wedding, almost 4 years ago.  She was pregnant with her first baby boy, Jackson :)  Love her!

Ingredients:
4-6 Tri color peppers
1 lb. ground beef, turkey or chicken
1/2 sweet onion, diced
2 bags of microwaveable rice (fancy brand, like Old el Paso, not Lipton or Rice a Roni!) apparently it      comes in a can too but I can't find it in Louisville

1 small can of tomato sauce
2 C sharp cheddar shredded cheese
Adobo seasoning (optional-but Adobo makes everything better!)

the essential

the optional

Directions:
-Cut off the tops of your peppers (save for another recipe!).  Clean the inside and outside then boil peppers until "pokeable"  Yes, that is a word.
-Brown meat and onions

-Mix your rice, meat mixture, sauce and cheese (reserve 1/4 C)
-Stuff your peppers and top the with cheese.  Place in a sturdy casserole dish and add a little water to the dish so they don't burn.
Bake on 350 for 25ish minutes, until cheese is melted.  YUM!
