Method

  1. Start by slicing the tops off the green peppers, removing the seeds and membranes, and rinsing them thoroughly.

  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add the peppers and cook for about 15 minutes or until they are tender-crisp.

  3. In a large, deep skillet, combine the sausage and onions and cook over medium-high heat until they are evenly browned.

  4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the tomato soup, water, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together and bring it to a low boil.

  5. Reduce the heat to low, then stir in 3/4 of the cheese and let the mixture simmer for 1 hour.

  6. While the mixture is simmering, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  7. Prepare the instant rice according to the package instructions. Fluff it with a fork and then stir it into the tomato mixture. Let everything simmer for an additional 30 minutes.

  8. Spoon the rice mixture into the prepared peppers.

  9. Place the peppers in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.

  10. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the peppers and place them under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
