Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 4 large bell peppers
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Chef's knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain the excess fat.

  5. Stir in the uncooked rice, tomato sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
  7. Stuff the cooked peppers with the beef and rice mixture and place them in a baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the stuffed peppers.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Serve hot and enjoy.
