Stuffed Bell Peppers with Ground Meat or Vegetarian Filling

Ingredients:

• 4 large bell peppers
• 450g (1 lb) ground beef or turkey
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 240g (1 cup) cooked rice or quinoa
• 400g (14 oz) can of diced tomatoes, drained
• 100g (1 cup) cheddar cheese, shredded
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 15ml (1 tbsp) olive oil

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Slice the tops off the bell peppers, remove the seeds and membranes, and lightly brush the exterior with olive oil.

Step 2: For the ground meat filling, cook onions and garlic in olive oil until translucent. Add ground beef or turkey, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Drain excess fat and combine with rice, diced tomatoes, and half of the shredded cheese. For the vegetarian filling, cook onions, garlic, and mushrooms until soft. Stir in corn, black beans, quinoa (or rice), cumin, salt, and pepper. Add half of the shredded cheese.

Step 3: Spoon the filling into each bell pepper, place upright in a baking dish, and sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 4: Let the stuffed peppers cool before serving. Garnish with bell pepper tops or fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
