Instructions
Sauté onions in some olive oil.
Brown ground beef or ground chicken.
Drain grease.
While ground beef is cooking (or before) prepare and clean 12 green peppers. Remove tops and seeds.
Bring a pan of water to boil and add peppers. Boil for 5 minutes.
Return beef back to skillet and add sauce, oregano and garlic.
Add ricotta cheese to beef mixture.
Stir and pour into green peppers.
I placed into a muffin stone to bake (to help stand up). You can use muffin tins as well.
Bake in a 350 oven for 15 minutes.
Add cheese on top of peppers and allow to melt for 5 additional minutes.
