Ingredients
-
4 cups water
-
2 cups brown rice
-
1 pound ground beef
-
1 onion, diced
-
¼ cup chopped mushrooms, or to taste
-
3 cloves garlic, chopped
-
1 (26 ounce) jar tomato sauce
-
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
-
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
-
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
6 red bell peppers, tops and seeds removed
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
Directions
-
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 has been absorbed, about 40 minutes; transfer cooked rice into a large mixing bowl.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break ground beef into small pieces and place in the skillet. Add onion, mushrooms, and garlic; cook and stir until the beef is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Mix beef mixture into brown rice.
-
Stir tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning into the rice mixture; season with salt and pepper.
-
Arrange bell peppers in a baking dish; spoon a generous amount of filling into each bell pepper.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender, about 1 hour. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the stuffed peppers to serve.
