Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

1 yellow onion, diced

4 cups chicken broth

2 cups long grain white rice

1 tsp dry oregano

1 tsp dry basil

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 can whole tomatoes, pureed in blender

5 bell peppers

12 large tomatoes

Recipe:

Cook the ground beef in a large pot over high heat until browned. Meanwhile, cook the onion in olive oil over medium high heat until tender. Add garlic to onion, cook 1 minute. Add onion/garlic to the pot, along with the oregano, basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the pureed tomato, along with the guts of the hollowed out tomatoes.  Cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and rice, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. While that mixture is cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil, then boil each one of the bell peppers for 3 minutes or until about as tender as a tomato, and set aside. When most of the liquid in the mixture has been absorbed by the rice, spoon it into the hollowed out tomatoes and pre-cooked bell peppers. Place in a deep baking pan and fill with 1/4 inch of water. Bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for two hours, or longer if you have the patience.
