Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare the bell peppers by cutting off the tops and removing the seeds.
- Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until softened, then add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Cooking
- Add ground meat to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
- Drain any excess fat from the meat, then stir in the cooked rice, half of the tomato sauce, salt, and black pepper.
- Stuff each bell pepper cavity with the meat and rice mixture, then place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and pour the remaining tomato sauce over them.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
Finishing
- Remove the bell peppers from the oven, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of each pepper, and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot and enjoy your perfectly grown stuffed bell peppers.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat mixture. Using different colored bell peppers will make your dish more visually appealing.
