Stuffed Peppers

This is one of my favorites!  There are so many ways to make stuffed bell peppers, but I chose the simplest path.  I wanted to see if I could keep all of the flavor with a healthier version, and it worked! Yum!  Don't let the word "healthy" misinterpret this meal! -enjoy    Trudy

1 1/2 c cooked brown rice
1 lb ground venison (lean ground beef if you are not a fan of venison)
1/2 chopped med onion
4 bell peppers (slice off the top and chop, save the "cup" for baking)
3 T bread crumbs
salt/pepper to taste
1 t cajun seasoning (I use Tony Chachere's)
1/2 t garlic
1/2 t oregano
1/4 t cumin
2 T EVOO
parmesan cheese (to top peppers before baking)

Brown your meat in EVOO(extra virgin olive oil). Add onions and peppers.  Season with all spices.  Add bread crumbs and cooked rice.  Stuff pepper cups with mixture and top with cheese. Bake at 350 for 45 min or unitl peppers look wilted and wrinkly.
