Ingredients
Instructions
Pre-roast the peppers. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membrane. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil and rub both the inside and outside to coat them. Arrange them upside down in two baking pans or one sheet pan and pre-bake for 15 minutes.
Cook the onion and garlic. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the onions and garlic for about 2 minutes, until lightly softened.
Brown the beef. Add the ground beef and cook until the beef is browned, breaking it up with a spatula as needed.
Add the flavoring. Drain off any excess liquid from the beef and stir in the diced tomatoes, rice, spinach, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir for a 1 to 2 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.
Fill the peppers. Remove the bell peppers from the oven and use tongs to flip them over. Fill the peppers with the beef mixture and top with a sprinkle of cheese. Place them back in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the peppers are soft.
Serve. Before serving, top with fresh chopped parsley.
