1

Prepare the Bell Peppers

Cut off the tops of the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Make sure to keep the peppers intact, as they will act as little vessels for the cheesy goodness.

2

Cook the Filling

In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and your choice of ground meat (beef, turkey, or chicken). Cook until the meat is browned and the onions are softened. Add some salt and pepper for seasoning.

3

Add the Cheesy Goodness

Turn off the heat and stir in cooked rice, shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work great), and any additional seasonings or herbs you fancy. Mix everything together until the cheese is melty and gooey.

4

Stuff and Bake

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab your bell peppers and stuff them generously with the cheesy filling. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

5

Serve and Enjoy

Carefully remove the bell peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve these Cheesy Stuffed Bell Peppers with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, like parsley or basil, and a drizzle of sriracha sauce for an extra kick. Dig in and savor the cheesy deliciousness!
