Ingredients

4 large green bell peppers
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tbsp garlic salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup beef bone broth
1/2 cup ricotta cheese or cottage cheese
1 cup whole milk mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the chopped onion, garlic salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the onion is soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and beef bone broth. Mix well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until combined.
While the meat mixture cools, slice the green bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of ricotta or cottage cheese into each pepper half.
Divide the meat mixture evenly among the pepper halves, packing it in gently.
Top each pepper with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
