Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 count large bell peppers
  • 1.5 cup uncooked white rice rinsed
  • 0.75 pound ground beef lean
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes canned, drained
  • 0.5 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbled

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
  • Stir in rinsed rice, diced tomatoes, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add 1 cup of water, bring to a boil, then simmer until rice is partially cooked, about 10 minutes.
  • Stuff each pepper with the beef and rice mixture, then place in a baking dish.
  • Top each pepper with crumbled feta cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until peppers are tender and cheese is slightly browned.
