Mom's Stuffed Peppers

These classic stuffed peppers offer a wholesome and satisfying meal that perfectly balances protein and fresh vegetables. By using lean minced beef and fragrant Mediterranean herbs like basil and parsley, this dish delivers a deep, savoury flavour without being overly heavy. The addition of sharp Parmigiano-Reggiano and a rich tomato sauce ensures every bite is succulent and seasoned to perfection.

Ideal for a nutritious family dinner, this balanced recipe is simple to prepare and provides a complete meal in one dish. The peppers soften beautifully in the oven, becoming sweet and tender while holding their hearty filling. Serve these as a comforting midweek supper, perhaps with a crisp green salad or a portion of fluffy bulgur wheat to soak up the delicious juices.

Ingredients for Mom's Stuffed Peppers

  • 450g beef mince, browned

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 240ml fine bread crumbs

  • 60ml grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

  • 4 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

  • 3 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

  • 240ml fresh tomatoes, precooked (or canned tomatoes)

  • 2 eggs

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

  • 8 medium peppers, stemmed, cored, and seeded

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for drizzling over peppers before baking

  • 240ml tomato sauce

How to make Mom's Stuffed Peppers

Preheat the oven to 204°C.

Combine the beef with all the other filling ingredients, then stuff the peppers all the way to the top. It’s fine if the peppers bulge a bit.

Stand the peppers on end in a casserole dish and drizzle the olive oil over them. Bake at 204°C for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 191°C and pour the tomato sauce around them. Continue baking until the peppers brown, about 30 minutes. Bring to the table in the casserole dish and serve.
