Ingredients

• 4 large bell peppers
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup white or brown rice, cooked
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Heinz 57 sauce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut off the tops of the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Rinse the peppers and set them aside. Optionally, dice the removed tops to incorporate into the filling.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion (and diced pepper tops if using) and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.

Step 6

Stir in the cooked rice, 1/4 cup of Heinz 57 sauce, salt, black pepper, and half the shredded cheese. Mix well and remove from heat.

Step 7

Place the bell peppers upright in a baking dish. Fill each pepper with the beef and rice mixture, packing them tightly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup of Heinz 57 sauce with 1/4 cup of water. Pour this mixture into the baking dish around the peppers.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the peppers. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve hot.
