Steps:
- In a large bowl mix together the cooked rice and the raw ground beef.
- Add the egg, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to your taste, and mix very well.(I find it's best to mix it with your hands like meatloaf.).
- Prepare the peppers by cutting them in half from top to bottom like an apple, so you have two identical halves. Take off the stem and remove the seeds.
- Fill the pepper halves equally with the rice mixture. Set them down in a 13x9" baking pan that you have put a little of the sauce on the bottom of first.
- Generously spoon sauce over the stuffed top of each pepper and then pour the remaining sauce around the peppers in the pan.
- Sprinkle the top with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Bake at 350°F until the peppers are very soft and tender when tested with a knife.(depending on your oven maybe an hour or so; mine takes longer because my oven is ancient:).
- Spoon the sauce over the peppers at least three or four times while they are cooking. The sauce will thicken slightly as you bake the peppers and get delicious and rich.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta in the boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes less than the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water, then set aside.
- Cut the tops off the peppers. Remove and discard the stems, then finely chop the pepper flesh from the tops and set aside. Scoop out the seeds and as much of the membrane as you can. Place the peppers upright in a baking dish just large enough to accommodate them.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion and diced pepper tops. Cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the Italian sausage, crumbling it as you go, and stir until it is cooked and nicely browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the marinara sauce and black pepper, then remove the skillet from the heat. Fold in the ricotta, half of the shredded mozzarella and the reserved pasta. Stir until well combined. Divide the mixture among the prepared peppers. Top the peppers with the remaining mozzarella and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Add 1/2 cup water to the bottom of the baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the peppers are soft and the cheese is bubbly, another 15 minutes.
- Serve garnished with fresh basil.

ITALIAN STUFFED BELL PEPPERS --PLUS A MEATLOAF
This is a OAMC recipe as you can have both--a Meatloaf and Stuffed Peppers. This is the most delicious meatloaf recipe I have ever had. I love Meatloaf and I love Stuffed Peppers. I had tried many recipes for Stuffed Peppers and although they were O.K. I was never totally happy, UNTIL I came up with the idea for this. I made a meatloaf and used a portion of the mixture to make the stuffing for the peppers. Result--the best of both. You can keep everyone happy. Don't be discouraged if this looks involved--it really is not, but you are making two meals. (NOTE--I measure for the meatloaf, but for the peppers I just add what I want.) Enjoy!!

Steps:
- For the Meatloaf, combine all of the ingredients and mix well (I use my hand for this).
- If you are making JUST the MEATLOAF, form it in a 9x13 greased pan and bake 400 degrees for 1 hour, basting with the pan juices.
- For the MEATLOAF, combine the MEATLOAF SAUCE ingredients in a saucepan, and heat on the stove to serve warm over the Meatloaf slices at the table.
- If you are making the ITALIAN STUFFED GREEN PEPPERS you will also get a meatloaf out of this.
- For the ITALIAN STUFFED PEPPERS cut the tops off the peppers and clean them out.
- Cut the tops up to use for the sauce.
- Put these in a pan with a little olive oil along with the onions, and garlic--simmer till done.
- Add the tomato sauce and simmer while you are preparing the stuffing for the peppers.
- Cook the rice according to box directions.
- Also, cut a tad off the bottom of the peppers so that they will sit in the pan and not tilt (don't cut through to the inside).
- Mix 3-4 cups of the Meatloaf recipe mixture, Parmesan cheese, garlic, a little of the sauce, and the cooked rice in a large bowl--adding the rice till it looks like the amount you like (I eyeball most all of the ingredients).
- Stuff the peppers and place in a pan on which you have already put a layer of sauce.
- Put some sauce over the tops of the peppers.
- Cover with foil.
- Form the rest of the mixture into a loaf as directed above.
- Bake both at 400 degrees for about 1 hour or till done.
- Now you have 2 meals--freeze some if you like.
