I never "stuff" the peppers as I get major heartburn if I eat them. I love them but they hate me. I just make "meatballs" instead and use a few cut up peppers in the sauce to flavor it, 2 or 3 peppers do the trick. I use tomato juice and spices for the sauce. I make a similar recipe for "stuffed" cabbage; it's time consuming and a pain to stuff all those leaves of cabbage. And both recipes taste great, can't tell any difference.

DH doesn't like green peppers, so I use red or yellow (which reminds me, they are on sale this week and I should do up some dinners for the freezer). I saute onion, celery, the chopped pepper tops, shredder carrot (and/or zucchini) lots of garlic and sometimes even some chopped spinach (it was a great way of hiding those dreaded veggies from the kids!), add the browned ground beef and diced canned tomatoes. I sometimes add a can of Rotel too. Let it simmer, season to taste, stuff it into the peppers and then top with whatever tomato sauce I have, again adding extra seasoning. Serve over brown rice.
