Green Bell Peppers Beef, Oatmeal Stuffed

This recipe has a unique stuffing
for fresh green bell peppers.
It's different from the normal
stuffed peppers in three ways.
You use only pepper rings,
you combine ground beef with oatmeal,
you simmer in tomato sauce on the stovetop.

Ingredients:
1 large green bell pepper
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup uncooked oats
1/4 cup cooked white rice
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 egg
1 can condensed tomato soup
1 can or cup of water
olive oil

Directions:
Cook white rice, drain and cool.
In a large bowl combine beef,
rice, oats, egg and soup mix.
Mix well, making sure to get the soup mix
combined well with the rest of the ingredients.
Cut a fresh green bell pepper in 1" wide rings.
Remove seeds and any white part inside.
Fill each ring with meat mixture,
mounding on top to use up all mixture.
Place olive oil in a pot big enough to hold
all of the pepper rings in one layer.
In a bowl combine tomato soup and water.
Cover peppers with tomato water, simmer 1 hour.
Or until meat is done and peppers are soft.
