Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

4 medium green bell peppers
3/4 pound ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
non-stick cooking spray
1 cup cooked pearl barley
1 cup corn cut from cob or frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 can (8 ounce size) tomato sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Cut tops off peppers; discard seeds and membranes. Cook peppers in boiling water to cover 4 minutes; drain and set aside.
Cook beef and next 3 ingredients in a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until browned, stirring to crumble beef. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Combine beef mixture, cooked barley, and next 7 ingredients, and stir well. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Spoon 1 cup beef mixture into each pepper. Place stuffed peppers in an 8-inch square baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes. Top peppers evenly with remaining 1/2 cup cheese; bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese melts.

I had the best time making these for lunch today. I was out of barley, so I used leftover basmati rice in its place. Big hit with my niece. Perfect portion for 2 hearty eaters. I don't eat the pepper part, but my niece does. The filling is delicious by itself also.

I'm always looking for a way to incorporate different and healthy grains into my diet and this recipe is perfect. Tasty, filling, easy to make and a hit with me and my husband. I left out the corn because of its glycemic index. The only negative is that it was a little dry so I added another can of tomato sauce the second time I made it which ended up too moist. Tonight I tried an extra half can and it was just right for my taste.
