Hi. My name is Levi Zimmerman, and I am a Dairy Ambassador for Juniata County Dairy Promotion. I am a sports kid, and I play sports year round. I play baseball, basketball, football and soccer. Did you know drinking chocolate milk after a workout or a sports practice is great for your body? This is why: Chocolate milk is the perfect mix of carbohydrates and protein that you need to rebuild muscle and restore energy after a workout. Plus, I love it. It is one of my favorite dairy products.

Cheese is another favorite dairy product of mine and this recipe has a lot of it. I love stuffed peppers, and because of our busy schedule, we often make them in the Crock Pot. Since October is National Cheese month, be sure to add cheese to your diet. This recipe has lots of cheese.

Stuffed peppers

6-8 green peppers

1-2 pounds browned hamburg

1 bag of quick rice (we use chicken flavored)

2 jars of spaghetti sauce

4 cups of mozzarella cheese

Pour half a jar of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the Crock Pot.

Mix hamburg, prepared rice, 3 cups of cheese, and remaining spaghetti sauce in a large bowl.

Scoop into hollowed out peppers. Place filled peppers standing up in Crock Pot. Top peppers with remaining cheese. If there is extra hamburg mixture, you can fill more peppers or place around peppers inside Crock Pot.

Cook on low for 8-10 hours until green peppers can easily be cut.

Eat and go to practice.

Starting at /week.
