Ingredients

Scale

For the Stuffed Bell Peppers:

  • 2 Tablespoons Extra-virgin Olive Oil, or avocado oil
  • 1 Medium Onion, diced
  • 2–3 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 1 pound Lean Ground Beef
  • 1½ Cup Cooked Brown Rice
  • 14.5 ounces Diced Tomatoes, one can
  • 1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
  • 1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 Tablespoon Smoked Paprika
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
  • 7 Large Bell Peppers, top and core removed
  • 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Jack Cheese
  • Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F and place the 7 Large Bell Peppers cut side up into a baking dish or a rimmed tray.
  2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Heat 2 Tablespoons Extra-virgin Olive Oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the diced Medium Onion until softened, then add minced Garlic Cloves and cook for about 1 minute more.
  3. Cook Ground Beef Mixture: Add Lean Ground Beef to the pan and cook until no longer pink. Stir in Cooked Brown Rice, Diced Tomatoes, Tomato Paste, Dried Oregano, and Smoked Paprika. Cook until the sauce is slightly reduced, about 4-5 minutes. Season with Kosher salt and pepper.
  4. Stuff Bell Peppers: Fill each bell pepper with the beef mixture and bake until the peppers are mostly tender, about 10-12 minutes.
