Cut the tops off the bell peppers. Remove seeds and inside parts. Rinse well and keep them ready for stuffing.

Heat oil in a pan. Add onion and garlic. Cook until soft. Add ground beef and cook until browned fully.

Add cooked rice and tomato sauce into the pan. Mix everything well until combined and slightly thick in texture.

Add salt, pepper, paprika and oregano. Stir well. Let it cook for a few minutes so flavors blend nicely together.

Fill each pepper with the prepared mixture. Press gently so the filling stays packed inside and holds shape.

Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each stuffed pepper. This adds a creamy and delicious finish after baking.

Place all stuffed peppers in a baking dish. Add a little water at the bottom to keep them moist.

Cover the dish with foil. Bake in preheated oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes until peppers become soft.

Remove foil and bake for 10 more minutes. This melts cheese and gives a nice golden color on top.

Take peppers out carefully. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top. Serve hot and enjoy this delicious homemade meal.
