  1. Prepare the peppers

    Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F).

  2. Fill the peppers

    Season the ground beef with salt and black pepper, mix, and fill the pepper halves with it. Arrange tomato slices on top and sprinkle with grated cheese.

  3. Bake

    Place the peppers in a baking dish and bake for about 25 minutes, until the meat is cooked through and the cheese is golden. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with rice or potatoes.

Tip: Choose peppers with flat bottoms so they won't tip over in the baking dish and the meat juices stay inside. The cooked meat should no longer be pink, even in the center.
