SOUTHWESTERN TACO STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

Set aside and see how they stand up. If one or more are really leaning, trim a tiny bit off of bottom tall side to make more level without trimming so much that you have a hole in the pepper. You don't want anything to leak out. Boil for 3 minutes, place in or rinse with cold water. Drain and set aside on paper towel. In large frying pan, saute ground beef and onion til beef is done. Drain grease. Stir in rest of ingredients except cheese. Low simmer for 5 minutes. Fill peppers with meat mixture. Place in sprayed and foil-lined 13x9 pan or roaster.

Nice with sides such as buttered corn on or off the cob, salad, my Spanish rice, refried beans and white corn chips, and my Key Lime Pie for dessert.
