Creating Stuffed Bell Peppers for Fall Dinner is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prep the Peppers: Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Drizzle with a little olive oil and place in a baking dish.
3. Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
4. Add the Meat: Stir in the ground turkey (or beef). Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 7-8 minutes.
5. Mix the Filling: Once the meat is cooked, add the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Stuff the Peppers: Generously spoon the meat and rice mixture into each bell pepper until filled to the top.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the stuffed peppers.
8. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
9. Uncover and Brown: Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes to allow the cheese to become golden and bubbly.
10. Let Cool: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool for about 10-15 minutes.
11. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create an unforgettable dish that’s sure to impress everyone at your table.
