I read all of the comments on this recipe and was a bit worried about the outcome! Changing the recipe as described below, I have to say - this was possibly the best thing I've ever eaten! I'm serious. If anything, I over-seasoned the sauce and will be a bit more careful next time. And there will definitely be a next time! The dish was so good, I had a dream about it, and woke up wanting it for breakfast!
I scaled it down to two servings. I used 2 red bell peppers. On that scale, I added one small clove of garlic, minced, and 1/2 shallot, chopped to the meat mixture. Also added cumin, oregano, various other spices, liberal salt and pepper and chopped parsley. I used minute rice. For the sauce, I used part tomato juice, part tomato sauce and 1/4 cup strong beef broth. I added red bell pepper and celery to the sauce.
I didn't cover the peppers with the sauce, (they kept turning over when I did) but did spoon it over them throughout cooking. I partially covered the pan, and simmered for 2 hours.
Next time, to add more fiber, I'm thinking of adding some kind of beans to the filling.
Absolutely scrumptious.
