    3/4 cup brown sugar
    1/2 cup white raisins
    1 lb ground beef
    1/2 cup raw rice (RAW)
    1 medium onion (finely chopped)
    2 tablespoons ketchup
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Preparation
    Combine the cranberry sauce, tomato sauce, the raw ground beef, 1/2 cup of raw rice, chopped onion, 2 tablespoons ketchup, Worcestershire, 1 cup tap water, salt and pepper to taste and brown sugar and bring to a boil.
    Reduce to a simmer and add white raisins. Simmer 5 minutes.
    Remove stems and seeds inside of peppers.
    Rinse inside under running water to make sure all the seeds are out.
    Place peppers standing up in a large pot and cover peppers with water. Bring to a boil and boil until peppers are tender.
    Remove from hot water and with tongs remove peppers from pot and place them upside down on a plate to drain.
    After cooking the meat mixture, fill the peppers with the mixture, and place the filled peppers into a deep roasting pan. Cover with the remaining mixture. Cover the pan with the lid or with heavy duty aluminum foil and cook in pre-heated 375 degree oven for 1/2 hour.
    Remove the lid and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cheese over each pepper. Return to oven and continue to cook at 375 degrees until cheese melts. Spoon remaining sauce from pan over peppers and serve immediately.
