Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 12 ounces vegan ground beef substitute
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup, cooked brown rice
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup, shredded vegan mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Set them aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the vegan ground beef substitute to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, cooked brown rice, and frozen corn. Mix well.
Season the mixture with cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Stuff each bell pepper with the mixture, pressing down gently to pack it well.
Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and sprinkle the vegan mozzarella cheese on top of each pepper.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your vegan beef stuffed peppers!
