Ingredients

• 4 pieces Green bell peppers
• 1 cup Cooked ham
• 1 cup Cooked white rice
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the tops off the green bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set the peppers aside.

Step 3

Dice the tops of the green peppers (excluding the stems) to use in the filling.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced pepper tops, onion, and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ham, cooked rice, sautéed vegetables, 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Stuff each bell pepper with the ham mixture, packing it in tightly.

Step 7

Pour the tomato sauce and water into a baking dish and stir to combine. Place the stuffed peppers upright in the dish over the sauce.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of the peppers, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
