Stuffed Bell Peppers

Ask anyone in my family since I was a small child I have loved bell peppers. My mom used to have to stop me from eating them straight out of the garden. So ever since I started getting into cooking I have wanted to make Stuffed Bell Peppers. The recipe is super delicious and easy to make! 
6 large red or green peppers, rinsed
1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 or 2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup long-grain white rice
1 1/4 cups chicken or beef broth
3/4 cup diced tomato (fresh or canned)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pepper, to taste
1/3 cup grated Parmesan, plus a little extra for garnish
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 cups of your favorite tomato sauce



 We added probably 2 more cups of rice because it looked like it was pure meat. In the end it was a good decision and we put it in only 3 bell peppers where the recipe calls for 6 so depending on how much meat or rice you want you can make the call.


It may not look super appetizing but I promise you it is delicious. Even if you want to just make the filling it would be great in burritos!
