Stuffed Peppers- Different recipe?

Does anyone have a recipe for stuffed peppers where you actually cook the meat inside of he peppers instead of browning it first? I remember eating some that were almost like meatloaf inside a pepper, and i am pretty sure there was rice in the mixture...

I used to love these, but almost all the recipes i have found online have been with pre browned meat. (10/12/2006)

RE: Stuffed Peppers

I also have had stuffed peppers made with raw hamburger meat at a friend's house years ago, and loved them. The only recipes I've found all started with browned meat too, and I would love to have a recipe starting with raw meat also if anyone has one. Thanks! (08/13/2008)
