Ingredients
- 4 pieces red bell pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 piece onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 8 4/5 oz ground beef
- 3 1/2 oz feta cheese
- 1 4/5 oz black olives
- 0.85 cup tomato sauce
- 1 tsp oregano
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 356°F (350°F) and place a rack in the middle of the oven.
- 2While the oven heats, halve the red bell peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes; set the halves aside.
- 3Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- 4Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
- 5Increase the heat to medium‑high and add the ground beef. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook for 5–7 minutes, until the meat is fully browned and no longer pink.
- 6Stir in the cooked rice, tomato sauce, dried oregano, chopped olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Mix well to combine, then season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook the mixture for 2–3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- 7Remove the skillet from the heat. Spoon the filling evenly into each pepper half, pressing gently to pack the mixture.
- 8Arrange the stuffed pepper halves upright in a baking dish, ensuring they are snug so they stay upright during baking.
- 9Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
- 10After 20 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10–12 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is hot throughout.
- 11Remove the dish from the oven and let the peppers rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- 12Optionally garnish each pepper with a sprinkle of extra crumbled feta and a drizzle of olive oil.
- 13Serve the Greek stuffed peppers hot, accompanied by a simple green salad or crusty bread if desired.
