Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.

  2. Wash the bell peppers, cut off the tops, and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.

  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent.

  5. Stir in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes (with their juices), thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Mix well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  6. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the grated Parmesan cheese into the beef mixture.

  7. Carefully stuff each bell pepper with the beef and rice mixture, pressing down gently to fill them completely. Place the stuffed peppers upright in the greased baking dish.

  8. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the tops of the stuffed bell peppers.

  9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.

  10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

  11. Once cooked, garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy the Stuffed Bell Peppers Provencal warm.
