STEPS

1

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.

2

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

3

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, about 7 to 10 minutes. Mix beef mixture into brown rice.

4

Stir tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning into the rice mixture. Season with salt and pepper.

5

Arrange bell peppers in a baking dish. Spoon a generous amount of filling into each bell pepper.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender, about 1 hour.

7

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the stuffed peppers to serve.
