Stuffed Green Peppers

I haven't made this for a long time. It's not all that healthy, but I got a lot of green peppers at a great price so here we go. I got the recipe from Aaron's mom. I think she got it from a freezing and canning cookbook. Supposedly you can freeze them and they keep for 2-3 months.

Stuffed green peppers
8 medium green peppers
1 1/2 c. rice
1 lb. ground beef
1 c. onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cans condensed tomato soup
2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 lb. cheese grated

Cook rice.  In a large skillet cook the ground beef, onion and garlic, until meat is done. Drain fat. Add soup and spices. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add cheese, stir until melted. Removed from heat and stir in rice.
To prepare peppers, cut in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Place in pot of boiling water for 3 minutes (can be done in batches). Remove, drain and cool. Place on cookie sheet and fill with meat mixture.
If you want to freeze them you can wrap them in foil and freeze them for 2-3 months. Otherwise bake at 350 F for 30 minutes.
We had this with salad and green beans.
