Ok here's one I made up when I was 12ish (I got tired of my mom's mushroom soup meatloaf) though I'm sure it wasn't totally original:
Stuffed Peppers
1 pound ground beef
6 green bell peppers
2ish slices american cheese crumbled
2ish slices swiss cheese crumbled
2ish slices cheddar cheese crumbled
4 slices of bread (moistened with water and smushed up)
bread crumbs to taste
worstestershire (sp?) sauce
1 egg lightly scrambled
Mix all ingredients in bowl except bell peppers in bowl like you were making a meatloaf. Cut tops off bell peppers. Cut bell peppers in half, removing ribs and seeds. Break up ribs and put into beef mixture try to avoid putting in the seeds. Stir well again and stuff bell pepper halves with beef mixture. Cook on 350 for 45 - 60 minutes or until done, it just depends on the size of the peppers. I usually serve just with french fries or mashed potatoes.

Baked Lime Chicken
About 8-10 chicken tenders
2 fresh limes
1 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 cube butter, melted
4 Tblspn. brown sugar
2 c. chicken broth
Grate lime peels and mix with brown sugar--set aside.
Squeeze lime juice from limes into large bowl and marinate chicken while preparing rest of ingredients.
Mix flour, salt and pepper together in pie plate.
Coat each marinated chicken tender with flour mixture and shake off excess.
Dip each floured chicken tender in melted butter.
Place chicken in 9 X 13 pan.
Sprinkle each chicken piece with lime zest/brown sugar mixture.
Bake COVERED at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Then pour chicken broth over the top and bake UNCOVERED for 20 minutes more.
Serve over couscous.
NOTE: I usually don't use the whole 2 c. chicken broth because I don't want the lime zest/brown sugar to "wash away." Instead, I make up the 2 c. broth, use what I want and then use the rest in making my couscous.
