Ground Beef-Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients

• 4 bell peppers, tops cut and seeded
• 12 oz Ground Beef
• 1 cup cooked rice
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 cup crushed tomatoes
• 1 tsp cumin + 1 tsp oregano
• 1 cup grated cheese
• Parsley, olive oil

Method

1. Brown the Ground Beef with the onion and spices, then fold in the rice and half the tomatoes. Taste and season boldly — the filling seasons the whole pepper.
2. Stand the peppers in a baking dish and pack the filling in. Spoon the rest of the tomatoes around them and add a splash of water.
3. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 30 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
4. Uncover, top with cheese, and bake 10 more minutes until melted and bronzed. Finish with parsley.
