Stuffed Green Peppers with Beef

Cut the tops off the peppers, remove seeds and membranes, and place them in a pot with boiling salted water

Cook for 5 minutes, then drain

Mix well in a bowl the ground beef, cooked rice, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, chopped onion, egg, and tomato paste

Stuff each pepper with the mixture and replace the tops, securing with toothpicks

Arrange the peppers in a pot, pour the remaining tomato paste over them, and bring to a simmer

Reduce heat, cover, and let cook for 25 minutes or until the peppers are tender and the beef is cooked through

If necessary, add 1/4 cup of hot water

Serve 3-4 peppers.
