Savory Stuffed Peppers
Ingredients
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup uncooked long grain white rice
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 6 medium green bell peppers
  • 16 ounces tomato sauce, divided
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
1
Gather all the necessary components for this dish, including the ingredients and equipment required. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to prepare it for cooking.
2
Next, combine water and rice in a saucepan with a lid. Place the saucepan over high heat until it reaches a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
3
While the rice is cooking, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until it is evenly browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. This should take around 7 to 9 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, remove the tops, seeds, and membranes from the bell peppers. If necessary, slice off the bottoms of the peppers to create a stable base for them.
5
Arrange the bell peppers in a baking dish, with their hollowed-out sides facing upwards. This will help them stand upright during cooking.
6
To prepare the filling, combine cooked beef, cooked rice, half of the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spoon an equal amount of filling into each hollowed-out pepper.
7
In another bowl, mix the remaining tomato sauce with Italian seasoning. Pour this mixture over the stuffed peppers.
8
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, basting with sauce every 15 minutes. The peppers should be tender by the end of this time.
9
Serve the stuffed peppers hot and enjoy your meal
