This had way to much prep work due to pre cooking of ingredrients. 1st attempt I stuck by recipe instructions and the flavor wasn't there. Second attempt I wanted flavor and smell I remember from childhood. I decided not to pre cook the ingredients but add raw stuffing mixture to stuff peppers. My end results on my second attempt at stuffed peppers was homemade comfort food flavor perfection. The green peppers do not have to be boiled prior to baking. The rice, onion and ground beef do not need to be cooked prior to stuffing the pepper.I increased oven temp to 375 and baking time to 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. I used 3 medium green peppers and halved (6 servings), removed stem and seeds.I combined 1 pound raw ground burger (like you do when making meatloaf), 1/3 cup uncooked long grain rice such as basmati rice, 1/3 cup finely chopped raw onion, 1/4 teaspoon both oregano and basil, 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce, dash of salt and pepper, and 1/2 can of a 15 oz can of tomato sauce. I mixed above ingredients and stuffed the half peppers. I put peppers in a 9x13 baking dish then took the remaining 1/2 can of 15oz tomato sauce plus 1 full 15oz can of tomato sauce and combined in a bowl and used one of the cans to dilute the sauce with 1 full can of water then poured diluted sauce over peppers. I covered peppers loosely with foil and basted the peppers every 20 minutes. What a difference in flavor!
