Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.

  2. Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

  4. Stuff each bell pepper with the rice and cheese mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in tightly. You can fill them all the way to the top.

  5. Arrange the stuffed peppers in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle a little olive oil over the tops of the peppers.

  6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

  7. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

  8. Once done, remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

  9. Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired, and enjoy your delicious Tomato and Cheese Stuffed Peppers!
