Ingredients

  • 4 bell peppers any color
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 can 28 ounce crushed tomatoes, divided
  • 2 tablespoons Italian parsley chopped
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1 cup shredded colby jack cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook additional minute.
  • Stir in beef and cook. While cooking, break up the meat with a wooden spoon and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin and 1 1/2 cups crushed tomatoes. Cook 3-5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl add the beef mixture, 3/4 cup cheese, parsley and cooked rice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place remaining 1/2 cup crushed tomatoes on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Divide the filling evenly among the peppers. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes in preheated oven.
  • Remove foil after 30 minutes and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is bubbly and browned, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
