Buy large, green peppers, slice them in half, remove seeds and insides as best you can. Don’t be concerned with removing the stems, the parboiling of the peppers softens it so you are able to stand them in a shallow casserole dish.

4 large green bell peppers – halved & seeded
2 Tbsps. olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 lb. ground beef, pork, sausage, or turkey
2 tomatoes, chopped
About 2 Tbsp. minced parsley
1 1/2 tsp. basil or Italian seasoning
Salt & ground black pepper to taste
1 cup bread crumbs (seasoned or not)

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a shallow baking dish, such as 9 x 13. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the prepared peppers for 2 minutes. Drain, then place standing in the greased dish, set aside.

Meanwhile, in a skillet place the oil and when heated place everything up to the breadcrumbs in the pan. Cook for 10-15 minutes. Lightly fill each each pepper half with this meat mixture (you will probably have extra) then sprinkle breadcrumbs on top. Bake for 30-40 minutes.
