1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

2

Start by cooking the rice according to package instructions. Generally, this takes about 15 minutes.

3

While the rice cooks, wash the bell peppers and cut the tops off, removing the seeds and membranes inside, and set them aside.

4

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.

5

Next, add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

6

Once the beef is cooked, stir in the cooked rice, diced potatoes, half of the tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well and cook for an additional 3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

7

Stuff each bell pepper with the beef and rice mixture, pressing down to pack it in tightly.

8

Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and pour the remaining tomato sauce over the top.

9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

10

Uncover and sprinkle cheese over the top, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

11

Once done, let them cool for a few minutes before serving, and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
