Ingredients
- 4 bell pepper large
- 1 cup rice cooked
- 1 lb. ground beef
- ½ vidalia onion chopped, large
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- salt
- black pepper
- Italian seasoning
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1 ½ cups spaghetti sauce I used homemade that I had in the freezer
- mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 375.
- 2. Cut the tops off of peppers and clean out seeds and membranes. Place in baking dish that has a small amount of water on the bottom (it will keep the peppers from sticking and keep them moist).
- 3. Brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic, crumbling the meat. Season with salt, pepper and a couple of dashes of Italian seasoning. Drain beef mixture.
- 4. Mix beef mixture, rice, parmesan cheese and almost all of spaghetti sauce in a bowl. Stuff an equal amount of filling into each pepper. Top with a spoonful of sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on each pepper.
- 5. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

**What I Would Do Differently**
- The peppers were still pretty raw when they came out of the oven, so next time I would boil them quickly to get them started before stuffing them and baking them.
