Now that we have everything ready, let’s jump into making these delightful Easy Stuffed Bell Peppers. Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Lightly coat the outside with olive oil and place them upright in a baking dish.
3. Cook the Meat: In a skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and garlic, sautéing until they’re soft.
4. Add the Protein: Toss in your ground meat. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
5. Combine Filling: Once the meat is thoroughly cooked, mix in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined and heated through.
6. Fill the Peppers: Spoon the mixture evenly into each bell pepper. Press down gently to pack the filling.
7. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the stuffing in each pepper.
8. Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and peppers are tender.
9. Garnish: Once baked, let the peppers rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

These steps will ensure you create a dish that’s not only easy but also packed with flavor.
