Ingredients
-
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

2 teaspoons citric acid or 2 teaspoons lemon juice
-
4 -5 medium green bell peppers, slice top off and seed and clean, reserving the tops
-
1 large peeled apple, sliced

4 ginger snaps (cookies)
Instructions
- 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.
