Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

The filling:
1 pound ground beef, browned
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup fine bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
4 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
3 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
1 cup fresh tomatoes, precooked (or canned tomatoes)
2 eggs
4 tablespoons olive oil
To assemble:
8 medium peppers, stemmed, cored, and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil for drizzling over peppers before baking
1 cup tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Combine the beef with all the other filling ingredients, then stuff the peppers all the way to the top. It's fine if the peppers bulge a bit.
  • Stand the peppers on end in a casserole dish and drizzle the olive oil over them. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F and pour the tomato sauce around them. Continue baking until the peppers brown, about 30 minutes. Bring to the table in the casserole dish and serve.
