Creating Deconstructed Stuffed Peppers is simple when you follow these detailed instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for cooking.
2. Prepare Peppers: Wash the bell peppers. Cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and membranes.
3. Cook Meat: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions, cooking until they are translucent. Then, add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Brown the Meat: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Break it up with a spatula, cooking until it’s browned and cooked through.
5. Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced tomatoes and corn. Let them cook for a few minutes to soften.
6. Season: Add the cooked rice, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined, allowing the flavors to meld.
7. Fill Peppers: Spoon the mixture into the halved bell peppers, packing it lightly but not overstuffing.
8. Bake: Arrange the filled peppers in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the peppers are tender.
9. Add Cheese: If using cheese, uncover the dish and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Bake uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
