Sloppy Joe's or Stuffed Green Peppers~Two Meals in One!

2 Lbs. hamburger
1/4 C boiled rice
1 lg. onion, chopped fine
1/2 green pepper, chopped fine
1 pint tomato juice
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1-2 tbs. chili powder (I usually add more rather then less but it is to your taste)
salt and pepper to taste
Brown the hamburger in a large soup pot, drain. In a seperate pan, saute green pepper and onion in oil until onion is clear. Add the rest the ingredients. Boil together until thick, about 1 hour.
***If you like stuffed green peppers you can use this meat recipe for them. Just cut the peppers in half, removing all seeds, and boil for 5 minutes. Pour some tomato juice in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Place green pepper in pan, fill with meat mixture, and cover with foil. Bake for 30-45 minutes. YUMMY!
