I don't really use a recipe. I start with a good amount of cooked rice. Any
type will work but I usually use brown. Don't use instant; it doesn't hold up
well. I add some meat, usually hamburger or sausage, cooked and crumbled. How
much depends on your preference. I use just enough to flavor it. Vegetables
are whatever I have available but always include onion. If they are raw, they
need to be blanched first. Shredded cheese is optional. If I do use it, it is
mixed in rather than sprinkled on top of the peppers. Sauce is usually some
type of tomato - sauce, thinned out paste, or some sort of pasta sauce. I'll
sometimes use some sort of gravy or a cheese sauce. Use enough sauce to hold
the mixture together. Spices depend on what the sauce was. The ones I
currently have in the freezer have a tomato sauce with Italian seasoning.
After I've mixed it well enough to evenly distribute the ingredients, I use a
1/2-cup measure to portion it out on cookie sheets for freezing. Half cup works
well for filling each pepper half. If you're planning to use it for whole
peppers, use a 1-cup measure. When it is frozen solid, it goes in a freezer bag
and back into the freezer. I put each portion in a sandwich Baggie first, but
you don't have to.

hey thanks guys! I think I like the idea of making the filling & freeze but want
to try them both ways. I should also have asked what is your favorite recipe?
:-) I am making some for dinner tonight & thought I might put in a little bit of
our tomatoes that are almost done, waa the season is so short!
