Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cut tops off bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Trim bottoms if needed to stand upright.
Boil peppers in water for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Drain upside down.
Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown ground beef 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Add diced onion and cook 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
Stir in uncooked rice, half the crushed tomatoes (about 1½ cups), beef broth, Italian seasoning, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Simmer 2-3 minutes.
Pour tomato sauce and remaining crushed tomatoes into 9x13 baking dish. Stir to combine.
Stand peppers upright in tomato sauce. Stuff each pepper generously with beef mixture.
Drizzle a couple tablespoons of water over each pepper.
Cover tightly with foil and bake 35 minutes.
Remove foil, top each pepper with mozzarella cheese, and bake uncovered 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and peppers are tender.
Let rest 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve with tomato sauce from the pan.
