Delicious bell peppers filled with a savory mixture of ground beef, rice, and spices, baked to perfection.
Ingredients
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them upright in a baking dish.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until soft, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add ground beef to the skillet, cooking until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  5. Stir in cooked rice, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and heated through.
  6. Stuff each bell pepper with the beef mixture, packing it in firmly.
  7. Top each stuffed pepper with shredded cheese.
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
