This stuffed peppers recipe fills hollow green bell peppers with browned ground beef filling, cooked rice, and a seasoned tomato sauce for a simple and tasty meal. Top with shredded cheese 10 minutes before they finish baking if you like.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cold water
  • 0.5 cups uncooked long grain white rice
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 6 medium green bell peppers
  • 16 ounces tomato sauce , divided
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoons onion powder
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Bring water and rice to a boil in a covered saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer until rice is tender, about 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until evenly browned and crumbly, 7 to 9 minutes.

  4. 4

    Hollow out bell peppers by removing and discarding the tops, seeds, and membranes. Slice the bottoms of the peppers if necessary to make sure they stand up straight.

  5. 5

    Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward.

  6. 6

    Prepare filling by mixing cooked beef, cooked rice, 1/2 of the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon an equal amount of filling into each hollowed pepper.

  7. 7

    Mix remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers.

  8. 8

    Bake in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until peppers are tender, about 1 hour.

  9. 9

    Serve hot and enjoy!
