Savory ground beef and mushroom stuffed red peppers with Italian seasoning, garlic, tomatoes, and brown rice filling.
Ingredients:
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups brown rice
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 0.25 cup chopped mushrooms, or to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 (26 ounce) jar tomato sauce
  • 1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 red bell peppers, tops and seeds removed
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, combine water and brown rice and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 40 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Transfer the cooked rice to a large mixing bowl.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble ground beef into the skillet along with onion, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook and stir until the beef is fully cooked and browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. Combine the beef mixture with brown rice.
  • Combine tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning into the rice mixture, and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Place vibrant bell peppers lovingly in a baking dish, generously fill each one with the delicious filling.
  • Roast in the oven until peppers are tender, approximately 1 hour. Finish with a generous sprinkling of Parmesan cheese before serving.
