Ingredients

4 large sweet red and/or yellow peppers
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups cooked rice
1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
1 cup diced fully cooked ham
1 teaspoon sugar
Dash hot pepper sauce
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Cut tops off peppers and remove seeds. In a Dutch oven, cook peppers in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. Place peppers upside down on paper towels; set aside.

Drain tomatoes, reserving the juice; set tomatoes and juice aside. In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Add the rice, mushrooms, ham, sugar, hot pepper sauce and reserved tomatoes; mix well. Loosely spoon into peppers.
Place in an ungreased 2-qt. baking dish. Pour reserved tomato juice over peppers. Cover and bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted.
