Instrucțiuni

Preheat your oven to 375F and place the peppers cut side up into a baking dish or a rimmed tray.

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté onion until softens, then stir in garlic and cook for about 1 minute more.

Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, for 5-6 minutes. Stir in cooked brown rice, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, and smoked paprika.

Cook until sauce is slightly reduced, about 4-5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

Stuff each pepper with beef mixture and bake until peppers are mostly tender. About 10-12 minutes.

Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 5-7 minutes more. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
