Instructions

Creating Stuffed Bell Peppers with Ground Beef & Brown Rice is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and place them in a baking dish.
3. Cook Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
4. Add Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
5. Mix Filling: Stir in the cooked brown rice, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
6. Stuff Peppers: Spoon the beef and rice mixture into each bell pepper until they are filled to the top.
7. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the stuffed peppers.
8. Cover with Foil: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the peppers from drying out.
9. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
