Ingredients

• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 pound ground beef
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 (26 ounce) can spaghetti sauce
• 6 white mushrooms, chopped
• 4 bell peppers, tops cut off and seeded
• 0.5 cup bread crumbs
• 0.75 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.75 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 small onion, finely chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Mix together ground beef, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, egg, onion, and mushrooms in a large bowl. Spoon mixture evenly into the seeded bell peppers. Replace the tops. Place stuffed peppers in the prepared dish.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until meat stuffing is cooked through, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and discard the pepper tops.

Step 4

Sprinkle stuffed peppers with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Warm spaghetti sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring regularly. When sauce begins to steam, remove from heat and pour over the top of peppers.
