Stuffed Green Peppers

This recipe is a classic. I have tried updated versions, but always end of up going back to this one. I do use brown rice.

6 large green peppers
1 lb. ground beef
2 tbsp. chopped onion
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. garlic salt
1 c. cooked rice
1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce
3/4 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

1. Cut thin slice from stem end of each pepper. Remove seeds and membranes; rinse. Cook peppers in enough boiling water to cover for 5 minutes; drain.
2. Cook and stir ground beef and onion until light brown; drain. Stir in salt, garlic salt, rice and 1 c. of the tomato sauce; heat through.
3. Stuff each pepper with the ground beef mixture; stand upright in 8x8 baking dish. Pour remaining tomato sauce over peppers. Cover; cook in 350 F oven 45 minutes. Uncover; cook 15 minutes longer. Sprinkle with cheese.
