olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

Chop either two medium-sized onions or one large onion roughly.

Mince three garlic cloves and chop one bunch of parsley, about two cups loosely packed.

Warm up a large skillet and add 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil.

Sauté the onions until soft and translucent, then add about 1 pound of ground beef and brown it.

Add one can of crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, or tomato sauce to the skillet.

Add a little bit of water, black pepper, sea salt, and 1 cup of rice, then let it simmer.

Wash and dry the bell peppers, then cut off the tops and remove the seeds.

Optionally, keep the tops to make the peppers look pretty.

Slice 2 to 3 baking potatoes and place them in between the peppers in the baking tray.

Once the stuffing cools, fill the peppers with the mixture, leaving some space to prevent overflow.

Pour any remaining stuffing over the potatoes in the tray.

Preheat the oven and prepare the tray with the stuffed peppers and potatoes.
