Recipe Introduction

In 1995 when I took a trip home, Mom showed me how to make these when we were at the camp. It was great to hear her giving me the advise on what the steps were and how to make the recipe successful. The peppers were fantastic too!

List of Ingredients

6 large green peppers
1 lb. ground beef
1 chopped onion
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. minced or 2 cloves fresh garlic
1 cup cooked rice
1-15 oz. can tomato sauce
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese


Recipe

Cut thin slice from stem end of each pepper. Remove seeds and membranes; rinse. Cook peppers in enough boiling water to cover for 5 minutes; drain. Cook and stir hamburger and onion in 10 inch skillet until hamburger is light brown; drain. Stir in garlic, rice, salt and 1/2 can tomato sauce; heat through. Stuff each pepper with hamburger mixture; stand upright in ungreased baking dish with 1/2 the remaining sauce from the can. Pour remaining sauce over peppers. Cover, cook in 350* oven for 45 minutes. Uncover, cook 15 minutes longer. Sprinkle with cheese.

For a variety in flavour and colour, use red, yellow and orange peppers also.

The meat mixture works quite well in cabbage rolls also.
