Stuffed Bell Peppers
Description
This recipe starts by browning ground beef, which is then combined with cooked rice, sautéed onion and garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to form a savory mixture. The tops and seeds of the bell peppers are removed, creating vessels for the filling.
The peppers are placed in a baking dish and stuffed with the beef and rice mixture before baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The initial bake softens the peppers and heats the filling, after which shredded white cheddar cheese is added on top and the dish returns to the oven to melt the cheese.
The result is tender bell peppers with a warm, well-seasoned filling enriched by melted cheese on top. The dish can be served hot as a complete meal providing protein, vegetables, and grains in one preparation.
