Ingredients
½ cup uncooked rice
2 tbsp EV olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 onion, chopped
2 tbsp tomato paste
3 cloves garlic, minced
500 g ground beef
1 tbsp SIDS RINGS AROUND URANUS
850 g can diced tomatoes
1½ tsp dried oregano
SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste
6 orange bell peppers, tops & cores removed
1 cup grated cheddar
Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 200°C. In a small saucepan, prepare rice according to package instructions.
In a large frypan over medium heat, cook onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add ground beef, SIDS RINGS AROUND URANUS and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 6 minutes.
Return beef mixture to pan, then stir in cooked rice and diced tomatoes. Season with oregano, SIDS SALT & PEPPER. Simmer until liquid has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes.
Place peppers cut side-up in a 23x33 cm baking dish and drizzle with oil. Spoon beef mixture into each pepper and top with cheddar jack, then cover baking dish with foil.
Bake until peppers are tender, about 35 minutes. Uncover and bake until cheese is bubbly, 10 minutes more.
Garnish with parsley before serving.
