STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Makes 3

My Mom’s stuffed peppers were to die for. Unfortunately she didn’t cook from a recipe. That seems to be a recurring theme with the older generation. This one is for Gretchen. I believe it’s one of her favorites.

2 lbs green bell peppers (par boiled)
1 large onion
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 tsp chopped garlic
1/2 stick of butter
1 lb ground beef
2 to 4 sliced of white bread
1 egg
salt and pepper
Optional:
Lea & Perrin to taste
beef bullion cube, dissolved in 1/2 cup water
