Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Bring water and rice to a boil in a covered saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer until rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until evenly browned and crumbly, 7 to 9 minutes.
Step 3
Hollow out bell peppers by removing and discarding the tops, seeds, and membranes. Slice the bottoms of the peppers if necessary to make sure they stand up straight.
Step 4
Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward.
Step 5
Prepare filling by mixing cooked beef, cooked rice, 1/2 of the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon an equal amount of filling into each hollowed pepper.
Step 6
Mix remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until peppers are tender, about 1 hour.
Step 8
Gather all ingredients, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy!
