Stuffed Pepper Soup

I honestly didn't know how well this soup would go over, but it was a hit.  Of course, anything with tomatoes is a sure winner with my girls.  I actually halved this recipe tonight, which was more than enough for the girls and I, with a couple of helpings worth left over.  This recipe is souper healthy & souper easy!

8 oz. lean ground beef
28 oz. can of tomato sauce
15 oz. can diced, petite tomatoes
½ cup cooked rice
2 medium green peppers, diced
2 beef bouillon cubes
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. garlic
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
water to thin to desired consistency

1. Brown beef & drain.

2. Add remaining ingredients to soup pot with the beef.  Bring to a boil.

3. Reduce heat & simmer 30 minutes or until green peppers are tender.

Serves 10

Variations

This can easily be cooked in the crockpot, adding the rice shortly before serving.

Next time I may include onion & a red pepper to give a bolder flavor.
