Beef, cabbage, seasonings, and cheese stuffed in bell peppers for a tasty, satisfying dish worth making.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 0.5 medium head green cabbage, chopped
  • 0.5 medium head red cabbage, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 large red bell peppers
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil, or as needed
  • 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup shredded provolone cheese
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and generously oil two rectangular glass baking dishes.
  • In a large stockpot over medium heat, melt butter. Add ground beef, green and red cabbage, onion, celery, and garlic. Incorporate diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, oregano, basil, and pepper. Cook until beef is browned and cabbage is slightly softened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Keep stirring and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the beef is cooking, get the bell peppers ready: cut off the stems, slice them in half vertically, and take out the seeds and white membrane. Coat the outside of the peppers with olive oil and place them skin-side down in the baking dishes like edible bowls.
  • Drain the beef mixture to remove excess liquid, then stuff the peppers, piling any extra on top or saving for later use. Cover with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender, for about 30-40 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with mozzarella and provolone, and bake for another 5 minutes.
  • Take out of the oven and let it cool briefly prior to serving.
