Instructions

Creating Easy Stuffed Bell Peppers is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Bell Peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Lightly brush the outside with olive oil.
3. Cook Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and sauté the diced onion until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Brown Meat: Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
5. Season Filling: Stir in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.
6. Stuff Peppers: Spoon the meat mixture into each bell pepper, packing it tightly.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each stuffed pepper.
8. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the stuffed peppers upright in a greased baking dish.
9. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to let the cheese melt and brown slightly.
10. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
