Real Stuffed Bell Peppers (Or Stuffed Cabbage) image

Another of my grandmother's down home recipes. Has the sweet-sour taste of old Europe. True comfort food to be served with mashed potatoes dunked into the extra sauce and a crisp salad. May also be made in cabbage leaves for a stuffed cabbage recipe; cooking method is the same, but beef is rolled in each cabbage leaf.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs raw extra lean ground beef
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can water
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can tomato soup
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup golden raisin
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons citric acid or 2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 large peeled apple, sliced
4 ginger snaps (cookies)
4 -5 medium green bell peppers, slice top off and seed and clean, reserving the tops

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan (large enough to accomodate the peppers standing upright) bring tomato sauce, water, onion, and tomato soup to a boil.
  • Add all other ingredients except beef and continue to simmer.
  • Stuff peppers with beef and add to pan.
  • Place tops of peppers slightly askew on each stuffed pepper.
  • Sauce should come about 3/4 of the way up each pepper or you can add a bit more water.
  • Cover pan and simmer for about 1 hour, basting occasionally with sauce, or until meat is cooked through.
  • Seasoning can be corrected by adding more brown sugar or sour salt to taste.
