Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 onion, chopped
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 pounds lean ground beef
• 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans tomato juice
• ½ cup uncooked white rice
• 9 yellow bell peppers

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cut the tops off the peppers and remove seeds and stems. Set aside.

Step 2

Place rice in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then drain water. In a large bowl, mix together rice, ground beef, egg, onion, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Stuff each pepper with an equal amount of beef mixture, then place peppers in a pot large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour tomato juice into pot. Cover pot and simmer over low heat for 90 minutes, until ground beef is fully cooked and rice is tender.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix together sour cream and flour. Whisk in 1 cup of tomato juice from pot, then pour mixture back into pot. Allow to simmer an additional 5 minutes, then serve peppers with juice spooned over top.
