Method

Preparation of Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, add ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables and Seasoning

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in cooked rice, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Preparation of Peppers

  1. 3

    Prepare the Bell Peppers

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Brush the outside with olive oil.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Stuff the Peppers

    Fill each bell pepper with the beef and rice mixture, packing it down gently.

  2. 5

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour tomato sauce over each stuffed pepper and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Stuffed Peppers

    Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
