4 large green bell peppers, halved and seeded

Tips:

  • Choose peppers of uniform size for even cooking.
  • To prevent the peppers from falling over during cooking, cut a thin slice off the bottom of each pepper.
  • For a milder flavor, remove the ribs and seeds from the peppers before stuffing.
  • Cook the rice until it is almost tender to prevent it from becoming mushy during baking.
  • To prevent the filling from drying out, add a small amount of liquid, such as beef broth or tomato juice to the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the stuffed peppers with grated cheese before baking to create a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the stuffed peppers with a side of sour cream or salsa for extra flavor.
