  • Author: Lauren Baker

Ingredients

– 4 large bell peppers (any color)
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Olive oil for cooking
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Beef and Cheese Stuffed Peppers is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Peppers: Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Lightly brush the outside with olive oil and place them in a baking dish.
3. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the diced onions and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent.
4. Add the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, cooking until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
5. Mix Ingredients: Stir in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
6. Add Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and mix in ½ cup of the shredded cheese, reserving the rest for topping.
7. Stuff the Peppers: Fill each bell pepper generously with the beef mixture, pressing down slightly to pack it in.
8. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of each stuffed pepper.
9. Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
