RECIPE:
1 Medium Onion diced

1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano

Preheat your oven to 375 F and place the 6 Large Bell Peppers cut side up into a baking dish or a rimmed tray.
Heat a large pan over medium heat. Sauté 1 Medium Onion (diced) until softens, then stir in 2-3 Garlic Cloves (minced) and cook for about 1 minute more.
Add 1 pound Lean Ground Beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon for 5-6 minutes. Stir in 1½ Cup Cooked Brown Rice, 14.5 ounces Diced Tomatoes, 1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste, 1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano, and 1 Tablespoon Smoked Paprika
Cook until sauce is slightly reduced, about 4-5 minutes. Taste and season with Kosher salt and pepper as needed.
Stuff each pepper with beef mixture and bake until the peppers are mostly tender. About 10-12 minutes.
Sprinkle with 1 Cup Shredded Cheese evenly over each pepper and bake for 5-7 minutes more. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
