Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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!

Notes

I use brown rice but any rice will work, including riced cauliflower.
Cheeses may also be substituted with your preferred type.
