Ingredients:
- 4 large bell peppers, sliced in half lengthwise with seeds removed
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz.) diced tomatoes
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened.
- Stir in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for a few more minutes until heated through.
- Place each pepper half into a baking dish and fill each one with the beef and rice mixture.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the tops of the peppers. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving Suggestions:
These stuffed peppers are a delicious and satisfying meal all on their own, but you can also serve them with a side salad or some crusty bread to round out the meal. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and make a great lunch or quick dinner.
