Stuffed Capsicum

There are a lot of versions of "Stuffed Capsicum" out there. This is mine...and it's pretty darn easy!
Quantities will vary depending on how many of these little beauties you make. It'll also depend on the size of the capsicum, or bell peppers, you use.
OK.....Preheat oven to about 180 degrees

First of all, partly cook some rice in the microwave. I used about half a cup and put it in for 6 minutes. It was almost cooked but not quite.

Chop an onion and whatever other veggies you want to put in it...I used a couple of chopped up mushrooms and some zucchini

Fry them off in a pan for a minute until almost done, then let it all cool before mixing with some minced lamb/beef/chicken - whatever you like. Throw in the partly cooked rice, a heaped teaspoon of flour, a large egg and whatever other herbs and spices that take your fancy....then mix it all around with your hands. I usually put on a pair of soft rubber gloves when I'm mixing stuff like this...(like the ones you get in a pack of Castings hair colour) They always come in handy

Now, it doesn't matter which way you cut the capsicum...down the middle or just cut the top off and scoop out the seeds, then stuff the meaty mix into them and place them in a baking dish.
Sprinkle over some grated cheese, pour a can of tomato soup over the top (you can also use a jar of tomato sugo) Add a cup of water, swish it around and then bake for about 40 minutes...

VOILA! Dinner is served.
