Instructions
Cut thin slice from stem end of each bell pepper to remove top of pepper.

Heat to boiling; add peppers. Cook about 2 minutes; drain.
In 10-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in rice, salt, garlic and 1 cup of the tomato sauce; cook until hot.
Stuff peppers with beef mixture. Stand peppers upright in ungreased 8-inch square glass baking dish.
Pour remaining tomato sauce over peppers.
Bake 10 minutes. Uncover and bake about 15 minutes longer or until peppers are tender.
