It's all good.
I've mixed the sauce in with the meat and rice mixture for an even moister version. But never browned the meat for stuffed peppers. It kind of steams inside the pepper along with the already cooked rice. But, I'm sure your version is good too. Again, it's all good.
I also make stuffed cabbage.........my husband never eats the cabbage leaves....just the filling. I've been thinking of making some now that our weather is turning cooler.......his mom (Polish) used ground pork mixed with cooked rice and sautéed onions.......while mine (Ukrainian) used ground beef mixed with cooked rice and sautéed onions. His mom actually used tomato soup for the sauce part.........while mine used tomato sauce mixed with a touch of brown sugar.......either way, it's comfort food.
Unless one hates cabbage..........then they just eat the filling. In that case, one can just make "porcupine meatballs" and skip the cabbage leaves.......
