Stuffed Peppers

1. Preheat oven to 375 F.

2. Into a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients except for the peppers and oil. Stir until well mixed.

3. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil.

4. Cut peppers in half, down to the bottom from the stem. Clean out the ribs and the seeds of the pepper.

5. Place peppers in the boiling water for about 4 minutes, until tender, but not too soft. Remove them from the water using a kitchen spider or tongs and place peppers on a paper towel or dish towel to drain off excess water.

6. Place peppers on a rimmed sheet pan cut side up. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil, rub it in the inside of the pepper and the sides and stem so they don’t burn.

7. Scoop about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of filling into each pepper. You will be able to eyeball how much you need.

8. Top each pepper with a little bit of grated cheese. Place peppers in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until filling is heated through.

9. Garnish with minced fresh parsley, if desired.

10. Enjoy!
