Beef & Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers

"A few of my Slavic family and friends have been making these since I was a girl. They are savory and satisfying. Here is my variation so far as spices, however the main ingredients of the recipe are a combination learned from a few terrific cooks and homemakers I've known and learned from over the years. Season to your liking and 'make them your own' - these lend well to experimenting with the flavors and seasoning."

  • Rinse all Bell Peppers and cut stem and top off, removing the seeds from the inside. Rinse out inside of Peppers. Place uncut side down in a large baking dish such as a Pyrex or Cruset.
  • In a large bowl blend all remaining ingredients but the jar of Marina Sauce and 3 tbsp of the Olive Oil. Blend all ingredients together well using your hands, really getting in there and combining everything.

  • Bake at 400 degrees for 90 minutes.

  • Cool and serve.

I have LOTSA FUN cooking when I'm 'in the mood to get into the kitchen'. The joy of the creation, and then the satisfaction of those served the meal leave me satisfied. And if they're not satisfied then I always like to know why in order to edit the cooking for the next time.
