I have been making this dish for years and it’s still a family favorite. You will definitely impress when you serve these stuffed peppers. They are so easy and delicious, it will seem like you spent hours in the kitchen making them. I like to add in some raisins, gives the dish a nice sweetness, but not necessary if you are not a fan of raisins in your food. Enjoy!

Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 6 bell peppers
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 c. uncooked instant white rice
- 1 24 oz. jar tomato basil sauce
- 1 tbsp. salt
- 5 cloves of diced garlic
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large bowl, add rice, tomato sauce, salt and garlic. Mix together.
- Add the ground beef, breaking up the meat and mixing it as you go so the meat is mixed well into the sauce.
- Cut the tops off the peppers about 1 inch down. Scoop out the seeds and as much of the membrane inside as you can.
- Place the peppers cut-side up in a baking dish just large enough to hold them upright.
- Spoon the beef mixture into each pepper, filling it almost to the top.
- Bake for 1 hour.
Tips:
- You can add ¼ cup raisins to the mixture before stuffing the peppers.
- If you want a bit of elegance, put the pepper tops on foil in the oven for the last 15 minutes of baking. Then put the tops back on the stuffed peppers when serving.
