Ingredients

• 4 to 6 large bell peppers
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 to 1½ cups cooked rice
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• ½ cup beef or chicken broth
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 to 2 tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp paprika
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 to 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers, remove the seeds, and place them upright in a baking dish. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef until browned. Add the onion and cook until softened, then stir in the garlic. Mix in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in the cooked rice and half of the shredded cheese. Fill each pepper with the mixture and place them in the baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil, top with the remaining cheese and Parmesan, and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil before serving.
