- 4 bell peppers any color
- 2-3 Tablespoons chopped onion
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheese mozzarella or Italian blend
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Split peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membrane. Brush the cut edges with a little oil. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and place the peppers, cut side down, directly on the grill grates. Grill 5-10 minutes, until char marks appear and the peppers have started to soften slightly. Remove from grill and allow to cool slightly before handling.
4 bell peppers
Cook the onions and ground beef in a skillet on medium heat about 8-10 minutes, until the beef is browned. Stir in rice, seasonings and tomato sauce and cook until heated through. Allow to cool slightly before adding cheese.
2-3 Tablespoons chopped onion, 1 pound ground beef, 1 cup cooked rice, 8 ounces tomato sauce, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 cup shredded cheese
Arrange the peppers halves in a grill basket (if using). Add ¾ cup of cheese to the cooled filling, then spoon the filling into each of the pepper halves. You should have enough filling for all 8 of the pepper halves.
Place grill basket full of stuffed peppers on the preheated grill. Grill for 20 minutes on medium heat, until peppers are charred on the outside and completely heated through.
Add the remaining ¼ cup shredded cheese in the last few minutes of cooking, to give it a chance to melt onto the filling.
Remove from grill and serve right away!
I use brown rice but any rice will work, including riced cauliflower.
Cheeses may also be substituted with your preferred type.
