ingredients

2 lbs ground beef
2 cups uncooked Minute Rice
2 eggs
1 medium chopped onion
¹⁄₂ cup pine nuts (optional)
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons dried parsley or 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
¹⁄₂ cup currants
10 10 large red peppers (a mix is pretty) or 10 large yellow peppers (a mix is pretty)
SAUCE
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can tomato soup
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can water
4 whole cloves
1 dash cinnamon
1 tablespoon chopped onion
3 pinches mint
salt and pepper

directions

Mix all filling ingredients well and stuff the peppers.
Place in large baking dish (can also be done in electric skillet or on stove top).
Mix sauce ingredients and pour small amount over each pepper and rest in bottom of dish or pan.
Bake at 350 degrees, covered, for about 1-1/2 hours.
Pass the sauce at the table.
I usually slice the peppers in half lenghtwise on a platter to serve and garnish with parsley or whatever.
NOTE: I usually double the sauce to go with any leftovers.
Also, if there is leftover meat mixture after stuffing peppers, I make into large meatballs and place in dish with peppers- this is great for people that don't care for the peppers.
