Stuffed Bell Peppers

I got this recipe from sparkpeople.com. After I stuffed the peppers I had extra stuffing and I ate it all. lol. It was soooo good. I have to say though, I'm not a big fan of the actual pepper part. I think it kind of takes away from the stuffing flavor. Mike says I just needed to add more salt, but I don't know. I think maybe I'm just not a fan of cooked bell peppers. :) But I'd make it again just for the stuffing part. Yu-um-eeeeeee!!

4 medium-size green peppers
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup canned tomatoes
1 cup cooked wild rice
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste

1. Slice off tem end of peppers; remove and discard seeds and membranes. Blanch peppers 5 to 10 minutes in boiling water. Drain.
