Steps:
- Prepare rice in microwave according to instructions. Cut off tops of pepper; remove seeds and white membranes. Discard stems; dice tops fine. Crumble ground beef into a microwave safe colander set in a shallow 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Add the diced pepper tops, onion, and carrot to colander. Cover loosely with waxed paper, microwave on high 4 to 6 minutes, stirring once, until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender. Drain any liquid left in the colander, then put meat mixture in a bowl. Stir in rice, 3/4 cup cheese, tomato sauce, and the salt and pepper. Spoon that rice mix into the peppers in the casserole. Cover loosely with waxed paper. Microwave on high for 11 to 14 minutes, rotating dish three times, until peppers are crisp, tender, and hot. Spoon remaining tomato sauce on top of the peppers, then sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover and let stand for 6 to 8 minutes until sauce is hot, cheese is melted, and pepper is almost tender.

Steps:
- 1. Wash and chop peppers and onion, and place into a Ziplock, Zip and Steam microwave steamer bag. (or into a microwave safe bowl with 2 tsp water covered with plastic wrap) and steam on HIGH power for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from microwave and allow to sit to finish steaming.
- 2. In a very large microwave safe mixing bow, divide both meats into bite size pieces, microwave on high for 3 minutes, stir to break up clumps and continue to microwave in 2 minute intervals, breaking up clumps if they form, until completely cooked.(This took me about 10minutes total) Remove bowl and pour off any extra fat that accumulated.
- 3. Add steamed veggies, and all other ingredients except rice, lemon juice and mozzarella (if using). Stir together well, making sure the tomato paste is well distributed. Add rice and stir. Taste and adjust salt, pepper and seasonings. Add lemon juice if desired to brighten the taste. Heat to desired temperature in microwave if needed.
- 4. May be served immediately or you may pour into a lagre baking dish, sprinkle with mozzarella and either heat in microwave to melt cheese or pop under broiler to melt and brown the cheese.
