bell peppers stuffed with couscous

We're not super into sausage, so this is our version of stuffed peppers.

BELL PEPPERS STUFFED WITH COUSCOUS

4 bell peppers
1 cup chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 box couscous (tomato flavored is great)
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese

Cut the lids off the 4 bell peppers, place in a baking dish and set aside. Heat onion & garlic over medium heat, reduce heat to low and add spaghetti sauce. Let simmer while you work on the couscous.

Prepare couscous according to the directions on the box. Combine couscous with the tomato sauce. Fill bell peppers with the mixture, top each with shredded cheese.

Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.

*I like to add 1 box of Smart Ground to the tomato mixture to 'beef it up.'
