My Favorite Microwave Recipe - Stuffed Peppers

Doing a late afternoon presentation, so I'm going to make dinner before I leave. This microwave recipe is (of course) easy and nutritious. The stuffing uses bulgur wheat instead of rice. And yes, most kids will not know they are eating something healthy. My then 4yr. old granddaughter helped me make these last summer, and although she didn't want the pepper, she ate all her stuffing.
Stuffed Green Peppers
3/4 cup hot water
1/3 cup bulgur wheat
1 chopped onion
1 tsp. beef bouillon
1/2 tsp. salt
dash of garlic powder
3/4 to 1 lb. ground meat
4 to 6 green peppers, depending on amount of meat you are using
1 small can tomato sauce
Mix water, bulgur onion, bouillon, and salt in 2 quart glass casserole. Cover tightly and microwave on high 6 to 8 minutes. Let stand until water is absorbed, usually 10 minutes. Stem peppers. Remove seeds. You can leave whole or cut in half lengthwise (better for serving youngsters and small appetites). Stir uncooked ground meat and 1/2 can tomato sauce into cracked wheat mixture. Place peppers on glass pie plate Stuff peppers.
Pour remaining sauce over all. Cover with plastic wrap tightly, and microwave on high for 10 minutes or until meat mixture reaches temp of 160. Top with cheese if desired.
