Stuffed Peppers

Green peppers are meatier and don't fall apart as much
Get ones similar in size
Cut off the tops and scoop out the seeds
Save tops as covers


Ground beef/pork/veal (meatloaf mix) 
Fry meat with chopped onions, carrots, jalapeƱos, parsley
Season with salt, pepper, garlic, cumin to taste
(Don't have to fully cook meat)

Simultaneously, rinse white rice with water a few times, and half-cook it

Mix rice in with meat and stuff the peppers (picture doesn't show rice)


Sauce contains 1 can of diced tomatoes and few spoonfuls of sour cream 
Add water to bring total volume to cover halfway up the peppers

Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for ~40 min
Peppers should be tender and edible



ALTERNATIVE FLAVOR RECIPE: Tex-Mex Stuffed Peppers
