Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup frozen cauliflower rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound ground beef
4 medium bell peppers
1 medium Roma tomatoes, diced
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
½ cup tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add cauliflower rice and saute until heated through, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in another skillet over medium-low heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • While the meat cooks, trim tops off bell peppers and hollow out. Use a knife to level off the bottoms of any bell peppers that don't stand mostly upright. Take care not to create a hole in the bottom (if it happens, just fill the pepper with loads of cheese before adding the meat mixture). You can also simply slice the peppers in half lengthwise, leaving the stem on.
  • Stir cauliflower rice, tomatoes, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, tomato sauce, and parsley into the beef mixture and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Season to your liking with salt and pepper.
  • Divide filling evenly among bell peppers and nestle them in a baking pan or line on a sheet pan. Top with remaining Parmesan.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until peppers are soft, 25 to 35 minutes.

Tips

  • Use a variety of peppers. Bell peppers come in a variety of colors, including green, red, orange, and yellow. Each color has a slightly different flavor, so using a variety will add depth to your dish.
  • Don't overcook the peppers. Peppers should be tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with the filling. The filling for stuffed peppers can be customized to your liking. You can use ground beef, turkey, pork, or lamb. You can also add vegetables, rice, or quinoa to the filling.
  • Make sure the casserole is cooked through. The casserole should be cooked until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through. You can check the doneness of the casserole by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the casserole is done.

Conclusion

Stuffed peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover vegetables and meat, and they can be customized to your liking. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, stuffed peppers are a great option.
