Gather all ingredients. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Mix ground beef, cooked rice, bread crumbs, 4 tablespoons Parmesan, onion, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until well combined.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spoon beef mixture into peppers.

5

Place peppers into a baking dish with the stuffing facing up.

6

Stir tomato sauce and vinegar together in a bowl. Pour tomato sauce mixture over peppers.

7

Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan over top.

8

Bake in the preheated oven, basting peppers with sauce several times, until beef filling is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour 20 minutes.
