Zesty Stuffed Green Bell Peppers image

A little twist on stuffed peppers. I like a little heat to tingle my mouth and this worked pretty well for me. Serve with steamed veggies, or a soup. This is a knockoff of Dana's recipe.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup hot pepper sauce
4 large green peppers
1 lb ground beef
3/4 cup uncooked basmati rice
3/4 cup salsa
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons onion powder
