Preparation

Step 1

Wash peppers. Carefully cut around stem about an inch out to form your "lid." Scrape out seeds.

Step 2

Make filling by combining meats, cooked rice, onion, beaten eggs and pepper. Stuff filling into peppers placing pepper's "lid" on top. Set stuffed peppers into deep baking dish.

Step 3

Make sauce by combining chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, onion, celery, pepper and sugar. Pour sauce over peppers. Bake covered with foil to prevent excessive browning or burning. 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.

Look for nice huge peppers that are not pointed on the bottom and set fairly good on a flat service without falling over.
Make enough to freeze. They can be frozen in zip-lock bags adding a little sauce to each.
