Ingredients

  1. 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  2. 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  3. 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  4. 2 tbsp. tomato paste
  5. 1 lb. ground beef
  6. 1 1/2 c. cooked white or brown rice
  7. 1 (14.5-oz.) can diced tomatoes
  8. 1 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  9. Kosher salt
  10. Freshly ground black pepper
  11. 6 bell peppers, tops and cores removed
  12. 1 c. shredded Monterey jack
  13. Chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Instructions

  1. Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 400°. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 6 minutes.
  2. Stir in rice and diced tomatoes; season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes.
  3. Arrange peppers cut side up in a 13" x 9" baking dish and drizzle with oil. Spoon beef mixture into each pepper. Cover baking dish with foil.
  4. Bake peppers until tender, about 35 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with cheese, and continue to bake until cheese is bubbly, about 10 minutes more.
  5. Top with parsley before serving.
