Beef Stuffed Peppers Recipe Rating 4

I used to bake for a restaurant, so I have lots of experience and enjoy being in the kitchen. Raisins add a touch of sweetness to the mild cheese sauce over these stuffed peppers.

Doubled this recipe worked fine. I cut the tops off of 4 red and yellow peppers and scooped out the seeds. Doubling the cheese sauce made plenty of it. We like spicy food so cayenne pepper was added to the ground beef as it simmered. All in all it wasn't a bad dish, messy, but good.
