Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
  3. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Stir in the cooked rice, garlic, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil.
  5. Spoon the beef and rice mixture evenly into the prepared bell peppers.
  6. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish. Pour about 1/2 inch of water into the bottom of the dish.
  7. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
  9. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of baking if you prefer a slightly browned topping.
  10. Serve hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef.
  • Add other vegetables like corn or peas to the filling for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Top with shredded cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking for a cheesy finish.
