Spiced Beef Stuffed Peppers
The raisins in this recipe give this delicious spiced beef filling a hint of sweetness in these Spiced Beef Stuffed Peppers.
Cut tops from peppers; discard seeds and membranes. Chop enough of the tops to make 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped sweet pepper.

Remove from heat and drain fat, if any. Stir in rice, raisins, chili powder, salt, cinnamon, hot pepper flakes and 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the tomato sauce. Divide mixture among peppers, spooning into pepper shells.
Place filled peppers upright in shallow baking dish in single layer; pour remaining tomato sauce around peppers. Bake, covered, in 350°F (180°C) oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until peppers are tender-crisp.
