Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Peppers: Slice tops off peppers and remove seeds. Cut small hole in bottom of each for drainage. Boil a few minutes, covered, in small amount of water. Remove from water and drain.
  2. Filling: Mix the meat, bread, egg, about 1/2 cup of the onion, 3/4 t. salt (or to taste), pepper to taste, ketchup and milk. (My mom did not include the ingredients for her meatloaf so I copied most of the ingredients from Yes, Virginia There is a Great Meatloaf as they sounded pretty close to what she uses!).
  3. Stuff peppers. If you have too much meat, form extra into pepper-sized balls.
  4. Tomato sauce: Mom uses about four cups of fresh (frozen) or one lg. can of canned tomatoes. Heat with a couple tablespoons flour, salt and pepper to taste, chopped onion and more green pepper if you want, and maybe three cloves. Mom suggests adding a little sugar to tomato-based dishes, maybe half a teaspoons.
  5. Arrange peppers in a deep casserole (Mom uses a deep square Corning one).
  6. Pour tomato sauce over the top. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for about an hour. Serve with boiled potatoes.
