Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and discard the stems and seeds. Rinse them under cool water and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion turns translucent.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until fully browned, breaking it into bite-sized pieces.
- Reduce heat and mix in cooked rice, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stuff each pepper with the filling mixture, being careful not to overfill. Place each stuffed pepper upright in a baking dish.
- Pour about 1/4 inch of water into the bottom of the baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top. Bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Once out of the oven, let the peppers cool briefly, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
