Stuffed Green Peppers

This is from American Woman All time Favorites Cook book. One of my favorite meals. You should like cooked green peppers and meatloaf if you are going to make this one.

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
3 green peppers, cut in half lengthwise
1/3 C uncooked oats
1/3 C Catsup (or ketchup whichever way you want to spell it! The cookbook spells it Catsup!)
1/4 C finely chopped onion
1 egg, beaten
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1 t salt
1/8 t pepper
1/4 C Catsup

Remove seeds and membrane from green pepper halves and cook in boiling salted water 3 minutes. Invert and drain thoroughly. Combine oats, catsup, onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Add to ground beef mixing lightly but thoroughly. Pack approximately 1/2 cup meat mixture into each pepper half. Place peppers in a baking dish. Top meat mixture on each pepper with 2 teaspoons catsup. Bake in a 350 degree oven 30-35 minutes. 6 servings.

8 Ounce Cream Cheese (softened)
12.5 Ounce Cool Whip (I use the name brand. I can't find a 12 ounce tub any more so I usually buy 2 8 ounce tubs - they are usually on sale and cheaper than the 16 ounce - and measure.)

Mix 1 cup powdered sugar, cream cheese and 6 ounces of Cool Whip. Spread on first layer.

3rd Layer

Mix the pudding with the milk until just set and pour over the 2nd layer. Cool in the refrigerator until completely set.
