Category: stuffed bell peppers
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

Ready in: 30-60 minutes
Difficulty: 3 (1=easiest :: hardest=5)
Serves/Makes: 4


Ingredients:
Salt
4 medium red, yellow, or orange bell peppers, 1/2 inch trimmed off tops, cores and seeds discarded
1/2 cup long-grain white rice
1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped fine
12 ounces ground beef, preferably ground chuck
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14 1/2-ounce size) diced tomatoes, drained (see next ingredient)
1/4 cup juice reserved juice from tomatoes
1 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Ground black pepper
1/4 cup ketchup


Directions:

Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large stockpot or Dutch oven over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon salt and bell peppers. Cook until peppers just begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, remove peppers from pot, drain off excess water, and place peppers cut-sides up on paper towels.

Return water to boil; add rice and boil until tender, about 13 minutes.

Drain rice and transfer to large bowl; set aside. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees.

Meanwhile, heat 12-inch heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until hot, about 1 1/2 minutes; add oil and swirl to coat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.

Add ground beef and cook, breaking beef into small pieces with spoon, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Transfer mixture to bowl with rice; stir in tomatoes, 1 cup cheese, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir together ketchup and reserved tomato juice in small bowl.

Place peppers cut-side up in 9-inch square baking dish. Using soup spoon, divide filling evenly among peppers. Spoon 2 tablespoons ketchup mixture over each filled pepper and sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of remaining cheese. Bake until cheese is browned and filling is heated through, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
