Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Slice tops off peppers, seed and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, slowly heat olive oil in large Dutch oven, then add onion and let brown.
  3. While onion browns, mix together ground meat, salt and pepper to taste, garlic, parsley, basil, cheese, eggs, and breadcrumbs. Mix lightly; do not overwork. Divide meat mixture into six portions, gently roll and stuff into peppers.
  4. When onion is brown, add peppers and brown on all sides. After browning, stand peppers upright and pour marinara sauce over them. Simmer for 1 hour on the stove top. When almost done, remove lid and cut each pepper in half lengthwise, then continue cooking until done.
  5. Serve each pepper with some sauce spooned on top and sprinkled with some grated cheese.
