For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef with a tablespoon of olive oil and a clove of minced garlic.
You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef, if desired.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the filling, such as diced carrots, bell peppers of other colors, or corn.
To add a cheesy touch, sprinkle shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese over the stuffed peppers during the last 10 minutes of baking.
