Stuffed Peppers alla Raffaele

Depending on how many peppers you make I will give you the recipe for the dish above in the photo.
I made 7 of them


Yellow and Orange peppers are wonderful so sweet and no after taste we used those and one green and one red
I washed them dried, cut out the stem and all the seeds washed again drained them well.

1 Package of Veal, Pork, Beef ground I purchased @ BJ's about 3lbs you can buy almost anywhere now they are calling it "Meatloaf Mix"
1 Onion
1/2 head of garlic slivered
Marinara Sauce (you can make it or use something like Classico, Hunt's Traditional I used Marinara Sauce I had made
1 box prepared Rice a Roni (you can use white,brown, rice any mixture you like
Pepperidge Farm crushed bread crumbs (blue bag)
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Basil, Oregano, garlic powder, onion powder.

Take the Meatloaf Mix, chopped onions and garlic saute and then drain once cooked free of all the fat
Separately you make your rice whatever you prefer as I mentioned above
Mix these two items together then put in about 1/2 of the sauce and some water mix well, then add bread crumbs about 2 cups of it less if you want it meatier or more if you like the consistency with the crumb
Once all mixed together just add your spices to your liking should be a little wet

Take a spoon of sauce and put on bottom of 13 x 9 pan I used a glass pan stuff your peppers and cover with a little sauce on each one cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 1 1/2 hrs @ 350 degrees.
You need to make sure the peppers are nice and soft
If you want you can stuff them by cutting the peppers in half today I decided to try a new way with the stuffing on the top they were pretty darn good as Ralph says the best he truly enjoyed them
Hope you all do too.
