Give this American comfort food classic an Italian-American twist with ground beef, Parmesan, basil, and tomato sauce.

Ingredients

Serves 4

The filling:

1 pound ground beef, browned
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup fine bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
4 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
3 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
1 cup fresh tomatoes, precooked (or canned tomatoes)
2 eggs
4 tablespoons olive oil

To assemble:

8 medium peppers, stemmed, cored, and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil for drizzling over peppers before baking
1 cup tomato sauce

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F.

    Step 2

    Combine the beef with all the other filling ingredients, then stuff the peppers all the way to the top. It’s fine if the peppers bulge a bit.

    Step 3

    Stand the peppers on end in a casserole dish and drizzle the olive oil over them. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F and pour the tomato sauce around them. Continue baking until the peppers brown, about 30 minutes. Bring to the table in the casserole dish and serve.

A Tip From Pia

Mom sometimes made these with rice in the mixture. It makes the dish a bit heartier.

  • These were really delicious and pretty quick to put together. I had a lot of late season peppers from my garden I wanted to use. I followed the recipe except that I really love my microplaner and I had some really good Parm so I may have doubled the cheese, which I would recommend. Also, I used Panko instead of fine breadcrumbs.
