Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

4 cups water
2 cups brown rice
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, diced
¼ cup chopped mushrooms, or to taste
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (26 ounce) jar tomato sauce
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 red bell peppers, tops and seeds removed
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Directions

Bring water and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 40 minutes; transfer cooked rice into a large mixing bowl.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break ground beef into small pieces and place in the skillet. Add onion, mushrooms, and garlic; cook and stir until the beef is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Mix beef mixture into brown rice.
Stir tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning into the rice mixture; season with salt and pepper.
Arrange bell peppers in a baking dish; spoon a generous amount of filling into each bell pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender, about 1 hour. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the stuffed peppers to serve.

Air Fryer Corn Ribs

These air fryer corn ribs are my fun take on Mexican elote. Cutting the corn this way causes them to curl up in the shape of ribs once cooked. This also makes the corn a lot easier to handle and eat, not to mention a lot less messy.
