Simple Stuffed Bell Peppers

Recipe Description:

Simple ingredients and preparation make this a good dinner option. Baking brings out the sweetness of the peppers. I especially love this with orange, yellow and red peppers, but green peppers will work as well. A great way to use bell peppers that you don’t know what to do with.

Prep Time: 40 Minutes

Cook Time: 45 Minutes

Servings: 8

Difficulty: Easy

Recipe Ingredients:

8 medium-sized fresh bell peppers (any color is fine)

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 large yellow onion, chopped

5 cloves of garlic, minced

1 pound ground beef

1 cup of cooked brown rice

sea salt to taste

pepper to taste

freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut the peppers in half, remove any white and the stem (if desired). Arrange in two 9x13 pans.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, about 10 minutes.

Add in the ground beef and cook, breaking up into small pieces with a spoon, until thoroughly cooked, about 15 minutes.

Turn off the heat and add in the rice. Mix thoroughly.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Fill each pepper half with the meat/rice mixture.

Cover each pan with foil and bake for 45 minutes or until peppers are soft.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and let cheese melt before serving.
