Arrange stuffed peppers in the pot, pour 2-3 tablespoons of the sauce over each stuffed pepper. Cover with the tops of the peppers and Cover the pan with a lid. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour. Every 15-20 minutes pour 1-2 tablespoons over the peppers.

5. Preheat oven to 400F (200C).

6. Bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes. This stage is optional. You can serve the peppers without baking them.
