Stuffed... Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prep the Bell Peppers

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Lightly brush the outside of the peppers with olive oil and place them upright in a baking dish.

2. 2

   Cook the Filling

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent (about 3-5 minutes). Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned (about 6-8 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Stir in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper into the beef mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in half of the shredded cheese.

4. 4

   Stuff the Peppers

   Fill each bell pepper with the beef and rice mixture, pressing down gently to pack the filling. Top each stuffed pepper with the remaining shredded cheese.

5. 5

   Bake

   Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Once baked, remove the stuffed peppers from the oven. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious stuffed bell peppers!
