1

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2

Slice the tops off the peppers; cut out the stems and set them aside to use as tops. Cut out the cores and remove any seeds. Cut a thin slice off the bottoms so the peppers can stand upright. Poke about 4 tiny holes in the bottoms to let the juices drain.
3

Pour tomato sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add onion, beef broth, and red pepper flakes; spread the mixture evenly over the bottom.
4

Set the bell peppers upright in the dish.
5

Combine ground beef, cooked rice, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, tomato sauce, parsley, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
6

Lightly stuff the peppers with the meat mixture. Spread tomato sauce over each portion of stuffing, then place the reserved tops on the peppers. Lay a piece of parchment paper loosely over the peppers and cover the dish tightly with foil. Place the dish on a baking sheet.
7

Bake in the preheated oven until the peppers have softened slightly, about 1 hour. Remove the foil and parchment paper. Continue baking until the meat filling is cooked through and the peppers are soft, sweet, and tender, 20 to 30 more minutes.
8

Sprinkle each pepper with parsley and drizzle with a spoonful of pan juices.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
