How to Make Aunt Pearl's Stuffed Peppers Cabbage Rolls

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut 6 large green bell peppers in half lengthwise; remove seeds and membranes. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 cup cooked rice, 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 1 large egg, 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup, 1/2 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, 1 teaspoon dried dill, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Stuff the pepper halves generously with the beef mixture. Place the stuffed peppers in a large baking dish.
  5. Shape any leftover beef mixture into 6-8 meatballs and arrange them around the stuffed peppers in the baking dish.
  6. Pour the remaining tomato soup and stewed tomatoes over the meatballs and peppers. Add 1 cup of water to the baking dish.
  7. Cover the baking dish with foil. Bake for 1.5-2 hours, or until the peppers are tender. (For cabbage rolls: see step 8).
  8. **To make cabbage rolls (optional):** Separate leaves from 1 medium head of cabbage (remove core). Place about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture onto the core side of each cabbage leaf; roll tightly like a burrito. Arrange cabbage rolls around peppers and meatballs, adding more liquid as needed.
  9. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the tops of the peppers and meatballs are lightly browned.
