For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef and sausage with a mixture of finely diced mushrooms, zucchini, and eggplant. To prevent the peppers from tipping over in the baking dish, you can lightly score the bottoms to create a flat surface. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Provolone, parmesan, or asiago would all be delicious additions. Adding a layer of sauce to the bottom of the baking dish before adding the peppers helps keep them moist and prevents sticking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
02
StepBring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high to maintain a rolling simmer. Cook peppers until starting to get soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
03
StepHeat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, sausage, and onion. Cook and stir, breaking up the beef, until onion is soft and meat has lost all its pink color, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
04
StepMix spaghetti sauce, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, and cooked white rice into the beef mixture. Divide among 4 bell peppers and transfer peppers to a baking dish. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese on top of the peppers.
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until cheese melts and begins to brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
