Step one

Pre-heat oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high and stir-fry the pork until it is browned; about 5 minutes.

Once pork is browned, stir in VH® Sweet & Sour Sauce, Hunt’s® Thick & Rich Original Pasta Sauce, rice and 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) water. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes; remove from heat and stir in frozen peas.

Using a large soup spoon, scoop rice mixture into the peppers until full; place tops of peppers back on. Place any excess rice mixture into a medium baking dish and place peppers firmly on top. Add 2 tbsp. (30 mL) water to dish and cover completely with foil.
