Stuffed Peppers with Rice Recipe

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 350°F. Slice the bell peppers in half lengthwise, removing
the seeds and membranes. Arrange the peppers, cut side up, in a microwave-safe
13×9-inch dish. Add 2 tablespoons of water to the bottom of the dish and lightly
cover with parchment paper. Microwave the peppers for around 3 minutes, just
until they begin to soften. Drain any extra liquid from the dish.
2 While the peppers soften, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or
Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion, cooking
until the beef is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat from the pan. Stir in the
cooked rice, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, sugar,
garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix in ½ cup of
shredded cheddar and ½ cup of shredded Monterey Jack or mozzarella. Taste the
filling and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
3 Season the interior of each pepper half with salt and pepper, then stuff them
generously with the prepared beef and rice mixture. Drizzle the stuffed peppers
with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, cover the dish with foil, and bake
for about 35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated
through.
4 Remove the foil, top each pepper with the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar
and Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese. Return the dish to the oven and bake,
uncovered, for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and
bubbly. Serve the peppers warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley or basil
if desired.
