Stuffed Green Peppers

4 medium size green peppers
1 lb hamburger
1 medium size onion, diced
1 C. uncooked white rice
15 oz can tomato sauce (no salt added)
15 oz can diced tomatoes (no salt added)
1 C. water
salt, pepper, garlic to taste

Cook hamburger with onions and garlic in a high sided skillet until cooked. Add rice, water, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes. Stir to combine. Put lid on pan and simmer 20 minutes until majority of liquid is absorbed.  Spoon into green peppers. If you boil the peppers ahead of time, you can serve immediately, or you can bake them for about 15 minutes until they get a little soft.  I like mine on the firm side, so I boil mine for 5 minutes. That is just long enough to take the raw flavor out of them but leave them al dente.
