Easy Stuffed Bell Peppers with Ground Beef and Rice

Ingredients

To prepare these Easy Stuffed Bell Peppers, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella recommended)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious stuffed bell peppers:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Carefully cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set the tops aside, as they can be chopped and included in the filling mixture if desired.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet, cooking until softened, about 3–5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes (with juices), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and mix in half of the cheese, reserving the other half for topping.
  7. Fill each bell pepper with the beef and rice mixture, packing it gently but firmly. Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish.
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the stuffed peppers. Bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  10. Once done, let the peppers cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
