Another name for these are Torpedos . These were a staple in our family for a quick meal that serves a lot of people. They are similar to a Sloppy Joe , but in R.I. it is called a Dynamite . This recipe is versatile and can be scaled down or up. It freezes well and tastes best if made 1-2 days ahead.

5 lbs ground beef
5 lbs green peppers, diced
5 lbs red peppers, diced
