Stuffed Bell Peppers With Italian Seasonings

In a large saucepan, cook the tomatoes in the oil over medium-high heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the remaining sauce ingredients and cook 20 to 25 minutes over medium heat. The sauce should be boiling slightly. Meanwhile, mix the stuffing ingredients together n a large bowl, along with 1 cup of the cooled sauce, then stuff into the cleaned peppers. Place the stuffed peppers in a deep pan with 3 cups of sauce on top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the peppers are tender.
