This recipe calls for pre cooking the peppers but if you
precook them, you loose almost all the pepper flavor. I
prefer not to as I like the pepper flavor. Plus I think I
might bake this.

Peppers, Stuffed w/Ham + Rice

4 large sweet green bell peppers
2 3/4 cups boiling water
1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
8 ounces grated mild Cheddar or American cheese
1 cup diced cooked ham
2 Tablespoons minced parsley
salt and pepper

Cut peppers into halves crosswise and remove seeds and white membrane.
Cook peppers in 2 cups of boiling water for 4 minutes, if desired.
Drain and reserve liquid.
Cook rice until tender; drain.
Saute onion in butter in skillet until onion is tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Add 3/4 cup water and shredded cheese.
Stir until blended.
Add ham, rice, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Fill pepper halves with rice and ham mixture.
Place on rack in skillet with about 1 1/2 cups of the pepper cooking liquid in
the bottom.
Cover and simmer over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. OR, if you did not
pre cook the peppers earlier, cook until peppers are done to your liking.
Serves 4.
