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

  1. 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.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. 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.

  4. Stir tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning into the rice mixture; season with salt and pepper.

  5. Arrange bell peppers in a baking dish; spoon a generous amount of filling into each bell pepper.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender, about 1 hour. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the stuffed peppers to serve.
