Steps:

• Step 1 Preheat Oven to 375 degrees F. Step 2 Cook rice according to package directions. (I prefer a long grain white rice which usually takes about 25 minutes). Step 3 Heat olive oil in a large sauce pan over medium high heat. Sauté and stir carrots, celery and onions until tender. Step 4 Add ground sirloin and pancetta (optional) and cook until browned and crumbled. Drain off excess liquid and return to heat. Step 5 Add in the garlic cloves and sauté for another minute. Salt and pepper the meat mixture to taste. Step 6 Add tomato sauce, wine, italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 10 minutes. Step 7 Stir in parmesan cheese and rice. Simmer for another 5 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed. Step 8 Remove the tops of the peppers and insides - scraping out all the seeds. Then place in a shallow dish. ** Note: I like the peppers more tender so I cook them about 8 minutes before I add the mixture. If you prefer a firmer texture ship this step). Step 9 Fill peppers with beef mixture. Top with mozzarella or your cheese of choice. Step 10 Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Step 11 Serve hot and garnish with fresh basil.

STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onion and cook for a few mins to soften. Add the garlic and beef, and cook until the meat is browned - break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Add the tomatoes, oregano, stock cube and ketchup. Season well, give everything a good stir and cover with a lid. Simmer for 30 mins.
• Meanwhile, halve the peppers and scoop out the seeds and white membrane. Place cut-side up in a roasting tin, season and bake for 20 mins.
• When the mince is cooked, divide it between the softened peppers. Return to the oven for 10 mins, sprinkled with cheese. Scatter with basil leaves before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix together the cooked rice and the raw ground beef.
• Add the egg, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to your taste, and mix very well.(I find it's best to mix it with your hands like meatloaf.).
• Prepare the peppers by cutting them in half from top to bottom like an apple, so you have two identical halves. Take off the stem and remove the seeds.
• Fill the pepper halves equally with the rice mixture. Set them down in a 13x9" baking pan that you have put a little of the sauce on the bottom of first.
• Generously spoon sauce over the stuffed top of each pepper and then pour the remaining sauce around the peppers in the pan.
• Sprinkle the top with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Bake at 350°F until the peppers are very soft and tender when tested with a knife.(depending on your oven maybe an hour or so; mine takes longer because my oven is ancient:).
• Spoon the sauce over the peppers at least three or four times while they are cooking. The sauce will thicken slightly as you bake the peppers and get delicious and rich.
• Enjoy!
