1 1/8 pounds ground beef
1 egg
1 onion chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika ground red
9/16 cup parboiled rice long grain rice
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs home-made, if needed

1
Combine all ingredients (except bell peppers) with hands until everything is evenly incorporated (not too loose or too firm).

Stuff the prepared peppers 1/2 - 1 cm below the top (in cooking, the stuffing will 'raise'). If there is some leftover mixture, make medium-sized meatballs that can be cooked together with the stuffed peppers.
3
For the tomato sauce briefly saute garlic in olive oil in a large, deep pot. Add all the other ingredients, stir. If necessary, add more water (depending on desired consistency of the sauce).
4
Place the stuffed peppers (and meatballs) in a pot, top openings up.
5
Bring the sauce to the boil, then reduce the flame and simmer, covered, for about 45 minutes or until meat and rice are completely tender.
6
Serve with the sauce and mashed potatoes.
