stuffed peppers recipe
Perfect for a cozy family dinner or a potluck dinner party, this stuffed pepper recipe is designed to impress and satisfy. So, roll up your sleeves, preheat your oven, and start crafting a dish that's as delightful to the eyes as it is to the taste buds.
- Cook rice according to package directions or your preferred cooking method. Set aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it starts to soften, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the ground meat to the pan and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess grease. Add the garlic and cook, stirring for 30 seconds.
- Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper to the pan. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring for 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cooked rice and half of the cheese.
- Pour ½ cup of chicken stock into a baking dish. Fill bell peppers with the meat and rice mixture and place in the baking dish. Sprinkle on the remaining shredded cheese.
- Cover with a piece of aluminum foil that you have lightly sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Bake for 30 minutes, uncover, and bake for 5 minutes more, until the cheese is lightly browned and the filling is hot.
- Serve and enjoy!
