Stuffed Peppers with Beef and Millet

Stuffed red peppers For 2 servings:
1/2 pound minced beef
1/5 cup of uncooked millet
2 red bell peppers (halved length wise and discard seeds)
1 tomato (chopped)
1 egg (lightly beaten)
1 large onion (finely chopped)
3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
1 chili (finely chopped)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried parsley

Cook the millet as directed. Cook the onions, garlic, chilies and tomato with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan for 3 minutes. Now add the meat and cook until no longer pink.
Add the meat mixture, millet, and all other ingredients except red peppers to a bowl and mix it up. Pack the mixture into the red pepper halves. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until peppers are tender.

(I subbed out the millet with chopped brown rice spaghetti noodles)
