Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and coat a 9-inch-square pan with cooking spray.

  2. Wash peppers, remove tops, scoop out insides, and season with salt and pepper; blanching for 2 minutes in boiling water is optional.

  3. Finely chop reserved pepper tops and combine them in a large bowl with ground meat, onion, garlic, rice, egg, paprika, salt, and pepper; mix thoroughly.

  4. Stuff each pepper with one-quarter of the meat mixture, then arrange them in the prepared pan. Top with tomato slices if desired, pour tomato juice over them, and cover tightly with foil.

  5. Bake for 1 hour, adding water if the sauce evaporates too quickly.
