Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 pound ground beef
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cauliflower rice
- 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 membranes. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, approximately 6-8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper into the beef mixture. Cook for 5 minutes to combine flavors.
Add cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring to incorporate evenly with the beef mixture. Cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Arrange the bell peppers in a baking dish. Fill each pepper with the beef and vegetable mixture, packing it in gently.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until peppers are tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
