Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 3 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 2 cup low sodium beef broth
  • 15 ounce tomato sauce
  • 1 cup dry white rice

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

3. Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

4. Add the diced bell peppers and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

5. Pour in the beef broth and tomato sauce. Stir in the rice, basil, oregano, parsley, and black pepper.

6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the rice is tender.

7. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and combined.

8. Serve the Deconstructed Stuffed Peppers warm, garnished with extra herbs or sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

To make this dish even healthier, you can use lean ground turkey or plant-based ground meat in place of the beef. Swap in brown rice or cauliflower rice for the white rice. You can also load up on extra veggies, like diced tomatoes, spinach, or mushrooms, to boost the nutrient content even further.
