Albanian Stuffed Peppers

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté chopped onion and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 7-10 minutes.

Stir in cooked rice, tomato sauce, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin until well combined.

Fill each bell pepper with the beef and rice mixture, packing it tightly.

Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish.

Pour vegetable broth into the bottom of the baking dish to create steam.

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

Remove the foil and sprinkle cheese on top of the peppers.

Bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Drizzle lemon juice over the stuffed peppers before serving.
