Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients:

1 small green pepper
1/4 cup celery finely chopped
1/4 cup zucchini (or asparagus) finely chopped
1/4 cup mushrooms finely chopped
5 ounces of ground lean meat (beef, veal, turkey, chicken or a mixture)
1 teaspoon soya sauce
1/2 teaspoon Frank's Red Hot Sauce (add more or less to taste)
Salt and Pepper to taste


Directions:

Cut the top off the green pepper and remove seeds and ribs. Boil pepper for 3-4 minutes to start the cooking process. In a small bowl, mix rest of ingredients well. Stuff meat and vegetable mixture into pepper and replace top. (If you chose a very small pepper, the top may sit on the filling.) Place in a shallow baking dish and bake in a 400 degree oven for 45-60 minutes.

I count this as 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups of vegetables depending on the size of my pepper.
