In this article, I will guide you through the necessary steps to prepare stuffed peppers that are sure to be a hit on your table.

Necessary Ingredients

To get started, here is a list of the ingredients you will need to prepare your stuffed peppers:

• 4 large peppers (any color will do)
• 250 g ground meat (can be beef, pork, or chicken)
• 1 cup cooked rice
• 1 chopped onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Grated cheese (optional)

Preparing the Peppers

Step 1: Prepare the Peppers

Start by washing the peppers thoroughly. Then, cut off the top of each pepper and remove the seeds and membranes from the inside. This will help the peppers cook evenly and be ready for stuffing.

Step 2: Cook the Filling

In a large skillet, add a little oil and heat over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until golden. Then, add the ground meat and cook until fully browned. Once the meat is ready, mix in the cooked rice and combine well.

Step 3: Add the Seasonings

Stir in the tomato sauce and oregano into the meat and rice mixture. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Stuff and Cook the Peppers

Step 4: Stuff the Peppers

With the meat, rice, and spice mixture ready, proceed to stuff the peppers. Fill each pepper with enough mixture, making sure not to overfill. If desired, you can sprinkle a little grated cheese on top.

Step 5: Baking

Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and cover them with aluminum foil. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 30-35 minutes. The peppers should be tender and the filling hot. If you used cheese, remove the foil during the last 10 minutes to let it gratin.

Serving the Stuffed Peppers

Once the peppers are ready, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. You can accompany them with a fresh salad or any side dish of your choice.

Preparing stuffed peppers is an excellent way to enjoy a nutritious meal that can be customized according to your preferences.
