Ingredients
- 4-6 bell peppers use any color – green, yellow, red, orange
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef 450g
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper chopped
- 5 cloves garlic chopped
- 14.5 ounces fire roasted tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cooked rice white, brown, or wild rice
- For Garnish. Fresh chopped parsley, red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bring a pot of water to a boil (enough to cover the bell peppers).
- Wash the bell peppers, remove the tops, and scoop out the insides. Optionally, trim a small portion from the bottom so the peppers can stand upright. (Note: Dice the extra bell pepper tops to cook later with the onion; discard the stems.)
- Blanch the bell peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes to soften slightly, or roast them in the oven for 20 minutes as an alternative.
- Place the softened peppers in a lightly oiled baking dish.
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onions, chopped pepper tops, and jalapeno (if using), cooking for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add ground beef and cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it apart until cooked through.
- Stir in fire roasted tomatoes, seasonings, and cooked rice. Mix well and remove from heat.
- Fold in half of the shredded cheese until blended.
- Stuff each pepper with the meat mixture, then top each with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Roast the stuffed peppers for 15-20 minutes until the peppers reach desired tenderness and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow to cool slightly, garnish as desired, and serve.
