How to Make Easy Stuffed Green Peppers
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut the tops off 4 large green bell peppers and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and membranes.
- Place pepper halves in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until slightly softened.
- While peppers simmer, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook, breaking up the beef, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until rice is cooked through and liquid is absorbed.
- Gently spoon the beef and rice mixture into the prepared pepper halves. Arrange the stuffed peppers in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Loosely cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove foil, sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the peppers, and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
