Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Bell Peppers

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash the bell peppers, cut the tops off, and remove the seeds and membranes. Set them aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Filling

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Add the Ground Beef

    Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  4. 4

    Combine Filling Ingredients

    Stir in the cooked rice, tomato sauce, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix well and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stuff the Peppers

    Remove the skillet from heat. Spoon the beef and rice mixture into each bell pepper until they are filled to the top.

Baking

  1. 6

    Prepare for Baking

    Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. Pour any remaining tomato sauce over the tops of the peppers.

  2. 7

    Bake the Peppers

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of each pepper.

  3. 8

    Final Baking

    Return the dish to the oven (uncovered) and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serving
