Ingredients




4 green bell peppere
1 1/2 lbs. 93% lean ground beef
1 egg
3/4 cup instant rice
1 48 ounce can tomato juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1 In a large mixing bowl, mix ground beef, rice, egg, and salt and pepper to taste. 2 Work gently with hands just until combined. 3 Cut tops off of peppers and seed. Save the tops of the pepper to add to the cooking pot. 4 Stuff the peppers lightly with beef mixture, overstuffing will cause the peppers to burst. 5 In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the can of tomato juice and stuffed peppers. 6 If any beef mixture remains, make small meatballs and add to the pot along with the reserved pepper tops. 7 Cover pot with lid and simmer on low-medium  heat for approximately 1 1/2 hours, 8 Stir gently occasionally. 9 Serve with fresh tossed salad, and a crusty bread.
