Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Oil bottom and sides of two rectangular glass baking dishes.

02

Step
25 mins

Melt butter in a 4- to 6-quart stockpot over medium heat. Stir in ground beef, diced tomatoes, green and red cabbage, celery, onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, oregano, basil, and black pepper; cook until beef starts to brown and cabbage softens slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Continue to cook and stir for 10 to 15 minutes.

03

Step
0 mins

Meanwhile, cut peppers in half from top to bottom. Remove stems, seeds, and white membranes. Rub outsides of peppers with olive oil; arrange, skin-sides down, like edible bowls, in the prepared baking dishes.

04

Step
0 mins

Strain beef mixture to remove and discard excess liquid; divide mixture among peppers until filled, mounding any extra on top or reserving for another use. Cover stuffed peppers with aluminum foil.

05

Step
45 mins

Cook in the preheated oven until peppers have softened, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove foil, top with mozzarella and provolone; cook 5 minutes more.

06

Step
5 mins

Cool before serving, 3 to 5 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the ground beef before adding the remaining ingredients. You can also experiment with different types of cheese for topping, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack.
Adjust the amount of seasoning to your taste preference. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat.

    I omitted the provolone cheese and just used mozzarella. They were still delicious!

    I was skeptical about the cabbage, but it's a game-changer! So much better than rice. My family loved it!

    I've made this recipe several times, and it's always a winner. It's a great way to sneak in extra veggies for my kids.

    I used a mix of sweet Italian sausage and ground beef. The sausage added a nice depth of flavor.

    The tip about straining the liquid is crucial. My peppers came out perfectly, not soggy at all.

  • Magnolia Trantow

    I added a can of drained and rinsed black beans to the beef mixture for extra protein and fiber. It was a great addition!
