For Stuffed Peppers
- 4 large bell peppers
- 1 pound lean ground beef

- Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Next add the spinach, rice, diced tomatoes, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine.
- Divide the filling between the peppers and top each pepper with ¼ cup of shredded cheese.
- Cook the peppers at 400ºF/200ºC for an additional 5 minutes, or until the peppers are crisp tender and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or green onion and enjoy immediately.
