Ingredients

  • 1. A measurement of refreshing water
  • 2. A portion of delicate white rice
  • 3. A touch of high-quality extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4. A substantial quantity of lean ground sirloin
  • 5. Two cans of tomato sauce, each of a generous size
  • 6. Freshly chopped green onions for a pop of color
  • 7. A hint of garlic salt for added flavor
  • 8. Delicate kosher salt to enhance taste
  • 9. Cracked black pepper for a dash of spice
  • 10. Cubanelle peppers, carefully halved and deseeded
  • 11. An additional can of tomato sauce to tie it all together
  • 12. A spoonful of rich brown sugar for depth
  • 13. Fragrant dried parsley for a burst of aroma
  • 14. A sprinkle of dried basil for a touch of freshness
  • 15. A pinch of dried oregano for a hint of earthiness
  • 16. A generous portion of shredded mozzarella cheese for a creamy finish

Step 1

To start this delectable dish, begin by bringing a pot of water and rice to a lively boil in a saucepan over high flames. Once bubbling, lower the heat to a gentle medium-low, cover, and allow the rice to simmer until perfectly tender, typically around 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a generously sized skillet, heat up some olive oil over a medium-high temperature. Toss in the ground sirloin, stirring and cooking until it acquires a lovely brown hue and is no longer pink, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Remember to drain off any excess fat that may accumulate. Add a can of tomato sauce, green onions, garlic salt, along with a sprinkle of kosher salt and pepper for seasoning. Let these ingredients meld together over the heat for an additional 5 to 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.

Step 3

Once the rice is ready, gently fold it into the savory ground sirloin concoction, ensuring everything is well combined.

Step 4

Next, preheat your oven to a cozy 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

Step 5

Prepare the Cubanelle peppers by halving them and scooping out the seeds. Fill each pepper half with the meat and rice mixture, mounding it slightly at the top. Carefully arrange the stuffed peppers in a spacious 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, mix the remaining can of tomato sauce with brown sugar, fresh parsley, basil, and oregano. Spoon this aromatic tomato sauce generously over the peppers nestled in the baking dish.

Step 7

Slide the dish into the preheated oven and let it bake until the peppers are heated through and start to take on a tantalizing golden-brown tint, usually around 1 hour. Before serving, sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the top for a gooey, melty finish.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your bell peppers fresh by storing them in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator, wrapped in a damp paper towel for added moisture.
  2. 2. To save time, pre-cook your rice and protein of choice in bulk and store them in separate airtight containers in the fridge or freezer for easy access when making stuffed peppers.
  3. 3. Store herbs like parsley, basil, and cilantro in a glass of water on your kitchen counter to keep them fresh and vibrant for adding flavor to your stuffed peppers.
