Filled with a special blend of ground beef, rice, and Romanian spices, topped with sour cream.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them upright in a baking dish.

Prepare the Peppers

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent.

Cook the Filling

Stir in cooked rice, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and half of the tomato sauce. Mix until well combined and remove from heat.

Mix the Filling

Spoon the beef and rice mixture into each bell pepper, packing it down gently. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the stuffed peppers.

Stuff the Peppers

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.

Bake

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve topped with sour cream and shredded cheese if desired.
