MOM'S STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
What I love most about these stuffed peppers is that the meat goes in uncooked, so it forms kind of a solid "meatball" in the pepper. I think these are much better than the stuffed peppers where the meat is cooked first and stays "loose". If someone in your family does not like peppers, make some meatballs from the mixture and drop them in the pot along with the stuffed peppers. Enjoy!

MOM'S BEST STUFFED GREEN BELL PEPPERS
Another Slovak favorite, this is one of my Mom's great recipes. Again, uses condensed tomato soup (see my Velveeta Mac and Cheese for another way tomato soup compliments a recipe). So good, it rivals Stouffer's frozen in the store. Compare them for yourself!

Steps:
- Slice tops horizontally off of 4 large or 5 medium-sized green peppers. Cut out the seeds and membrane from inside each pepper and rinse with water. Arrange in baking dish.
- Prepare 1 cup of rice per package instructions. When done, allow rice to cool slightly (the cooler the rice, the easier to handle).
- In mixing bowl, break up raw ground beef. Add garlic, onion, and seasoned salt. Crack 2 eggs into mixture. Add the cooled rice and mix all together using hands in a mixing bowl (as if you were making a meatloaf or burger patties).
- Once mixture is combined, fill each green pepper to the top (Note: If there is any mixture left over, you can shape into meatballs for a pasta dinner).
- In a small bowl, empty contents of tomato soup can. Add 3/4 cup of water. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar to cut the acidity of the tomato soup. Stir to combine, then pour over green peppers in baking dish.
- Place baking dish in oven, uncovered, for 70 to 90 minutes at 350 degrees. Check beef mixture in peppers near the end of cooking time to make sure beef is cooked thoroughly.
- Remove from oven. Spoon tomato mixture over top of green peppers and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Combine the beef with all the other filling ingredients, then stuff the peppers all the way to the top. It's fine if the peppers bulge a bit.
- Stand the peppers on end in a casserole dish and drizzle the olive oil over them. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F and pour the tomato sauce around them. Continue baking until the peppers brown, about 30 minutes. Bring to the table in the casserole dish and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Select large, firm green bell peppers with smooth, unblemished skin for stuffing.
- Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Cook the filling thoroughly: Make sure the filling is cooked through before stuffing the peppers. This will help prevent the peppers from becoming soggy.
- Stuff the peppers tightly: Pack the filling tightly into the peppers, but not so tightly that the peppers burst.
- Bake the peppers at a high temperature: Bake the peppers at a high temperature (375°F or higher) for a short period of time. This will help the peppers to retain their shape and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Serve the peppers hot: Stuffed green bell peppers are best served hot, right out of the oven.
