Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut the 4 bell peppers in half lengthwise, remove seeds and membranes, and place cut-side up in a baking dish.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 cup cooked rice, 1 finely chopped onion, 1 tsp oregano, and 1 tsp salt. Mix until just combined.
Step 3
Stuff each pepper half with the meat mixture, mounding it slightly. Press gently to pack.
Step 4
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 160°F).
Step 5
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, top with shredded cheese or tomato sauce before baking.
