Ingredients

– 4 large green bell peppers
– 1 pound ground beef (or turkey)
– 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce

– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)


Instructions

Creating Old Fashioned Stuffed Green Peppers is a straightforward process when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Peppers: Cut the tops off the green bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
3. Cook the Filling: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent.
4. Add Other Ingredients: Stir in the cooked rice, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
5. Stuff the Peppers: Carefully spoon the meat and rice mixture into each prepared bell pepper, packing them tightly.
6. Arrange in a Baking Dish: Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. If desired, add a splash of water to the bottom of the dish to create steam during baking.
7. Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle shredded cheese on top, if using. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove and Cool: Take the peppers out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

By following these simple steps, you will create a remarkable dish that is flavorful, satisfying, and perfect for any occasion.
