Ingredients:

• 6 bell peppers (I used green and red, but you can use any color, or tricolor peppers or whatever your preference is)

• 1 lb ground beef

• 1 cup white rice

• 1 15oz can tomato sauce

• 2 tsp salt & 1/4 tsp pepper

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 3-4 cups water

Instructions:

1. Cut the top off the peppers and remove the seeds

2. Put the uncooked ground beef in a large mixing bowl, add the uncooked rice, spices and 4 tablespoon of the tomato sauce. 

3. Cut it together with a spoon until it is mixed. It will still have chunks in it, it won't be fully incorporated and that's ok. 

4. Stuff each pepper with about ½ cup of the filling, or until it is to the top. Don't pack it too tightly or else it won't cook right. 

5. Pour 3 cups or so of water into a Dutch oven with the peppers until the water barely reaches the top of the peppers. 

6. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer at medium heat for 35-40 minutes, or until rice is tender
