Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 328kcal
Ingredients
- 6 bell peppers cut in half lengthwise and seeds removed
- 3 tablespoon olive oil (separated)
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 onion diced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes (I love fire roasted tomatoes) drained
- 1 1/2 cups cooked rice
- 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cups baby spinach roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese
- chopped parsley for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membrane. Drizzle with a little olive oil and rub both the inside and outside to coat them. Arrange them upside down in two baking pans or one half sheet pan and pre-bake for about 15 minutes, while you're making the stuffing.
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, drizzle two tablespoons of olive oil and saute the garlic and onions for one minute.
- Add the ground beef and cook until the beef is browned, breaking it up with a spatula as needed.
- Drain off any excess liquid from the beef and stir in the diced tomatoes, rice, spinach, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir for a minute or two, or until the spinach is wilted.
- Remove the bell peppers from the oven and use tongs to flip them over.
- Fill the peppers with the beef mixture and top with a sprinkle of cheese. Place them back in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the peppers are soft.
- Top with fresh parsley and serve.
