Ingredients
-
1 cup water
-
½ cup brown rice
-
1 pound lean ground beef
-
1 onion, chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 green bell peppers
-
2 red bell peppers
-
2 yellow bell peppers
-
2 (8 ounce) cans natural tomato sauce
-
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, optional
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Bring water and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, warm a large skillet over medium heat. Add beef, onion, and garlic to the hot skillet; cook and stir until meat is evenly browned and onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
-
Remove and discard tops, seeds, and membranes of green, red, and yellow bell peppers. Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward. Slice the bottoms off peppers if necessary so that they stand upright.
-
Mix browned beef, cooked rice, 1 can tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spoon mixture into each hollowed pepper. Mix remaining tomato sauce with Italian seasoning in a bowl; pour over peppers.
-
Bake in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until peppers are tender, about 1 hour. Sprinkle peppers with grated Parmesan cheese; serve warm.
