Stuffed Peppers Style Meatballs

Submitted by Meekocu2

"Kind of an "inside-out" style of stuffed peppers. I came up with this recipe to use up the tomato juice I had left over after making stuffed peppers. If you want more flavor in your tomato juice, try dicing up some extra bell pepper and add to the tomato juice while the meatballs cook up."

Loved by my husband, who often says upon finishing dinner, "My gosh, that was so wonderful, I shall have to kill myself now." And said with a cheesy Italian accent.
