"I have another recipe posted here on this site that is great also this is a little different, do not use regular uncooked rice only instant for this or you will end up with hard uncooked rice! This recipe has a lot of rice if you want more ground beef flavor reduce the rice to 1 1/2 cups and icrease the ground beef to 1 1/4 pounds. If you want more sauce on top of the peppers you can increase the amount"

Original is 5-10 servings

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish (or any dish that will fit the peppers without over crowding). Cut off tops of green peppers and clean seeds out. Boil in large pot for 5 minutes, transfer to paper towels and place cut-side down to drain.

Step 2

In a skillet cook the ground beef with onion until browned; drain. Add in garlic and chili flakes and 2 cups of pasta sauce; bring to a simmer stirring until well combined, then simmer about 15 minutes. Remove from heat then mix in 2 cups of instant rice. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Place the peppers into greased baking dish. Fill peppers with meat/rice mixture. Drizzle remaining 2 cups of spaghetti sauce evenly over all peppers. Sprinkle tops with Parmesan cheese (about 2 tablespoons on each pepper. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 25-30 minutes or until peppers are tender.

Step 4

Remove foil and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake uncovered for another 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

These are THE best stuffed bell peppers I've ever had in my life. Everyone loves it! Thank you 'hugs'! I tried making these with different colored peppers and they are not the same as the green. Green tasted the best!
