Stuffed Bell Peppers

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Add olive oil to a preheated pan.

Add chopped yellow onion and minced garlic to the pan and sauté for a couple of minutes until fragrant.

Add ground beef to the pan, breaking it up, and sauté over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes until it turns light brown.

Drain excess fat from the beef if necessary.

Season the beef with salt and freshly ground black pepper, stirring to combine.

Transfer the beef mixture to a mixing bowl.

Add about 3 tablespoons of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, about 1 cup of cooked rice, and 1 egg to the bowl.

Mix everything together until well incorporated, using a spoon or your hands if preferred.

Cut the tops off the red and green bell peppers and remove the cores and seeds, rinsing them out.

Trim the bottoms of the peppers if necessary to help them stand straight.

Stuff the peppers with the filling mixture and transfer them to a casserole dish or baking dish.

Place the stuffed peppers in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and grate cheddar cheese over the top.

Return the stuffed peppers to the oven for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and browned.
