The original recipe suggested veal as one ingredient. You could substitute ground beef.





6 green peppers


2 cups chopped chicken or veal


3 tablespoons butter


2/3 cup buttered crumbs


3 tablespoons flour


1/2 teaspoon salt


1 and 1/2 cups milk or cream


Onion juice





Cut top from the peppers; remove carefully all the seeds and tongue. Cut thin slices from the bottoms so the peppers will stand. Melt the butter, add the flour and seasoning, then the milk and onion juice; add the meat and fill the peppers with the mixture. Cover with crumbs made by stirring 2/3 cup bread crumbs into 2/3 tablespoon of melted butter. Place the peppers in a baking pan and cover the bottom with boiling water. Bake in a moderate oven for 30 minutes.





Be sure the meat is cooked thoroughly.
