The raisins in this recipe give this delicious spiced beef filling a hint of sweetness in these Spiced Beef Stuffed Peppers.

Ingredients

4 medium sweet peppers (mixed colours)
1 lb (500 g) Extra Lean Ground Beef Sirloin or Round or Extra Lean Ground Beef
½ cup (125 mL) chopped onion
½ cup (125 mL) chopped carrot
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup (125 mL) cooked rice
¼ cup (50 mL) raisins
2 tsp (10 mL) chili powder
½ tsp (2 mL) salt
¼ tsp (1 mL) cinnamon
¼ tsp (1 mL) hot pepper flakes
1 can (14 oz/398 mL) tomato sauce

Directions

Cut tops from peppers; discard seeds and membranes. Chop enough of the tops to make 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped sweet pepper.

In lightly oiled non-stick skillet, cook beef, chopped peppers, onion, carrot and garlic, breaking meat up with back of spoon, for 8 to 10 minutes or until meat is thoroughly cooked. 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.
