Homestyle Stuffed Peppers

A delicious recipe for Homestyle Stuffed Peppers, packed with flavors and nostalgia.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Prep the peppers: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash your bell peppers, slice the tops off, and scoop out the seeds.
  2. Cook the filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat, then add onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Combine with other ingredients: Add cooked rice, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and salt to the skillet. Stir and let flavors meld for 3-4 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  4. Stuff those peppers: Fill each bell pepper with the mixture until overflowing. Place them upright in a baking dish with a splash of water (about ¼ cup) to steam.
  5. Cheesy goodness: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each stuffed pepper and add chopped tops.
  6. Bake them up: Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until the cheese is golden, about 10-15 minutes.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Let cool for a few minutes before serving!
