Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

4 green bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 ¼ cups water, divided
½ cup rice
1 cube beef bouillon
1 white onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground beef
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup ketchup
½ cup Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Place pepper halves, skin-side up, on a baking sheet. Rub pepper halves all over with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Broil in the preheated oven until browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place peppers, skin-side down, in a baking dish.
Bring 1 cup water, rice, and beef bouillon cube to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 25 minutes.
Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until onion is soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, and oregano to onion mixture; cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, 7 to 10 minutes.
Stir tomatoes, 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese, cooked rice, and Parmesan cheese into beef mixture until cheese is melted; remove from heat.
Whisk ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and remaining water together in a bowl. Place a spoonful of ketchup mixture into the bottom of each pepper, top with a layer of rice mixture, spoon another spoonful of ketchup mixture over rice, top with another layer of rice mixture, and sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese over the tops.
Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender and stuffing is heated through, about 45 minutes.

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 tablespoon fresh sage, minced
1/2 tablespoon fresh basil, minced
1 lb ground turkey
2 tablespoons chili powder (if you don't want it quite as spicy use only 1 tablespoon)

Tips:

Choose the right peppers: Bell peppers are the most common type of pepper used for stuffing, but you can also use other varieties like poblano or Anaheim peppers. Look for peppers that are firm, brightly colored, and have no blemishes.
Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. You can do this with a knife or a spoon. Be careful not to cut too deeply into the pepper, as this will make it more difficult to stuff.
Use a variety of fillings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to fillings for stuffed peppers. Some popular options include rice, ground beef, sausage, vegetables, and cheese. You can also use a combination of different fillings.
Cook the peppers thoroughly: Stuffed peppers can be baked in the oven or cooked on the stovetop. Be sure to cook them until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through. This will usually take about 30 minutes in the oven.
Serve the peppers hot: Stuffed peppers are best served hot out of the oven. You can top them with additional cheese, sour cream, or salsa.

Conclusion:

Stuffed peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a stuffed pepper recipe that everyone will love.
