Italian Stuffed Peppers

One of the meals I remember having all the time as a kid, besides pasta, was stuffed peppers! Now, when I was younger I was a pain in the butt and would only eat the inside of the pepper. But, I know now how delicious and important the pepper is as well as the meat.

This recipe is super easy and doesn't take much skill, BUT will taste like your a professional chef and have been slaving over the stove all day!!

• 3-4 bell peppers
• 1 lb ground beef
• onion powder
• garlic powder
• salt
• pepper
• Italian seasoning
• 1 cup marinara (plus a little more for topping)
• shredded cheese for topping

Preheat oven to 350°

Cut the tops off of the peppers and discard the innards.

Brown the ground beef in a large skillet.

Add a sprinkle of the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Drain excess fat.

Add the marinara and stir to combine.

Place the peppers in a baking dish and spoon in the meat mixture.

Bake for 45 minutes.

Top the peppers with the shredded cheese and bake for another 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
