Stuffed Green Peppers

Price Chopper had the biggest, greenest, prettiest bell peppers ever.  They were calling my name as I walked by them.  Stuffed green pepper images were running through my head.  I went into the grocery store to grab some sliced smoked turkey from the deli and came out with all the ingredients to make.....stuffed green peppers!  I did not have a recipe so I created one as I went along.  I diced up red onion and green pepper and stir fried it in some olive oil....

put the peppers on to boil for a few minutes....

added the ground sirloin in with the onions and peppers.......

browned the meat and sprinkled in lots of worcestershire black pepper and a little minced garlic.....

added a large can of tomato sauce and let it simmer for a few minutes....

while it was doing the simmering thing, I mixed up some ketchup, brown sugar and horseradish.....

then stuffed those peppers tightly......

and sliced up a piece of bacon to put on top of the sauce.....

baked at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.....

and could wait not a second more.  They really should have stayed in the oven a little longer because the peppers could have softened up a bit more.  Or maybe I should have boiled the peppers a little longer before stuffing them.  Whatever......they were good.  I sprinkled my plate with cheddar cheese and enjoyed.
