Stuffed Peppers

This is such a popular dish in Macedonian cooking. Everyone has a different take, but traditionally the stuffing is made with ground beef and rice. Depending on what looks best at the butcher, I sometimes substitute other ground meats as well, particularly pork. My aunt Sophie used to make the best stuffed peppers in our family and her tip was to put tomato slices on top to keep the rice moist while baking.
