Instructions

6 steps

1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.

2
Slice the tops off the bell peppers and carefully remove the seeds and white membranes from the inside. Stand the hollowed peppers upright in the prepared baking dish.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft. Add the ground meat and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
4
Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the meat. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5
Stir in the undrained diced tomatoes and the cooked rice. Bring to a brief simmer, then remove from heat. Stir in half of the crumbled feta cheese.
6
Spoon the meat and rice mixture evenly into the hollowed bell peppers, packing it down lightly. Top each pepper with the remaining feta cheese. Pour 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish (to create steam). Cover tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes until peppers are tender and tops are slightly browned.
