• 1 lb. lean ground beef or lamb
• 1/2 cup cooked rice
• 1 Tbs. allspice
• 1 Tbs. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 4-6 hot peppers
• 1 clove garlic, diced or crushed
• 1 Tbs. oregano
• 3-4 cups tomato sauce

METHOD:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a mixing bowl, blend thoroughly meat, rice, allspice, cinammon, salt and pepper.
• Cut the top from each pepper and place a toothpick hole on the ends to allow air to escape while stuffing. With a scooping tool or peeler/scoop tool, hollow out seeds from each pepper with a circular motion and discard.
• Stuff each pepper fully and place in an appropriate baking dish, side to side. (You can also stuff with cheese).
• Pour tomato sauce evenly over the entire dish. Place crushed garlic throughout sauce and top with oregano. Cover with foil and bake for one hour.
• To microwave, cover with plastic wrap and bake on medium-high heat for 20-25 minutes.
