Beef-Stuffed Bell Peppers Delight
Ingredients Needed
-
6 red bell peppers, tops and seeds removed
-
5 cups meatless spaghetti sauce, divided
-
3 eggs, beaten
-
1 ¼ cups instant rice
-
¼ cup finely chopped onion
-
1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 pinch ground black pepper
-
1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
-
6 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
Cooking Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and add the bell peppers. Cook for about 5 minutes, until slightly tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of spaghetti sauce, eggs, cooked rice, diced onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Add in the ground beef and stir until well combined.
-
Arrange the bell peppers in a large baking dish, placing them top-side up. Stuff each pepper with the beef mixture. Pour the remaining 2 cups of spaghetti sauce over the stuffed peppers. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is fully set. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (70°C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer. Top each stuffed pepper with 1 tablespoon of cheese before serving.
