Ingredients

• 4 whole Bell peppers (any color)
• 1 pound Ground beef (or ground turkey)
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 5

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.

Step 6

Stir in the fresh spinach, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in 1/2 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese is melted and well combined.

Step 8

Place the hollowed-out bell peppers upright in a baking dish. Spoon the meat and spinach mixture evenly into each pepper, filling them all the way to the top.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the stuffed peppers.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
