Savory Oven-Roasted Stuffed Bell Peppers with Parmesan Beef

Ingredients

- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup soy protein concentrate
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 6 large bell peppers
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon mixed spices (e.g., Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, pepper)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for roasting.

2. Prepare the Bell Peppers:
- Slice off the tops of the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
- Place the peppers upright in a baking dish, ensuring that they are stable and won't tip over during roasting.

3. Make the Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, water, bread crumbs, soy protein concentrate, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and mixed spices. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well integrated.

4. Stuff the Peppers:
- Evenly divide the beef mixture and stuff each bell pepper, pressing down slightly to ensure they are well filled but not packed too tightly.

5. Roast the Peppers:
- Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Roast for approximately 45 minutes.

6. Finish and Serve:
- After 45 minutes, remove the foil and return the dish to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the peppers to brown slightly on top.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the rich flavors of these savory stuffed bell peppers!
