shredded cheese of your choice
2/3 small cans tomato sauce

Stuffed peppers. I'm bad for giving recipes because I eyeball a lot of it. But I use one pound of lean ground beef, one egg, some parsley, some bread crumbs, onion, garlic and water. Oh, I also cut the tops off the peppers and take the little remnants that are still good and dice them for the meat mixture. I combine the meat mixture and stuff it into the peppers. One pound of ground beef is enough to stuff 4 decent sized peppers. I use two red and two green, just for fun. I put the stuffed peppers in the crock pot, cover them with pasta sauce and cook 8 hours on low. DH likes them with mashed potatoes. For the summer you could cheat and get those frozen potato mashers. They're actually pretty decent and no work at all. They're real potatoes, not like some strange instant potato substitute.
