Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add beef and cook, stirring often, until crumbed and browned, 8–10 minutes. Transfer beef to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
  3. Return skillet to medium heat and add olive oil and peppers. Cook, stirring often, until peppers have softened, 7–8 minutes.
  4. Return beef to the skillet along with the marinara and rice. Stir to combine and transfer to a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese.
  5. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly.

This is a family favorite! I use ground turkey and add my own special seasoning! So easy to put together and it really does taste like stuffed peppers! Highly recommend! Great to take to the cabin for a quick dinner for all to enjoy!
