Spaghetti Stuffed Peppers: An Easy Weeknight Dinner Recipe

 

Looking for a quick and delicious weeknight dinner that combines two classic dishes into one? Spaghetti stuffed peppers are the perfect solution! This recipe is a fun twist on traditional spaghetti, packed with flavor and easy to prepare. Plus, it’s a great way to sneak some veggies into your meal.

Ingredients:

  • Bell Peppers (any color you like)
  • Lean Ground Beef
  • Your favorite jar of spaghetti sauce
  • Mozzarella Cheese
 

Steps:

  1. Prepare the Bolognese Sauce: Start by browning the lean ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Once the beef is fully cooked, drain any excess fat and pour in your favorite jar of spaghetti sauce. Let it simmer on low heat while you prepare the peppers.

  2. Prep the Peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and carefully scrape out the seeds and membranes from the inside. This creates the perfect vessel for your spaghetti filling.

  3. Finish the Sauce: Stir the sauce occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld together. You can also add any extra seasonings you like to give it a personal touch.

  4. Stuff the Peppers: Place the bell peppers in a walled baking dish to keep them upright. Spoon the bolognese sauce into each pepper, filling them to the top.

  5. Top with Cheese: Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over each stuffed pepper. The cheese will melt into the sauce, creating a deliciously gooey topping.

  6. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the stuffed peppers in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  7. Serve: Remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These spaghetti stuffed peppers are a complete meal on their own, but you can also pair them with a side salad or garlic bread for a more filling dinner.

This spaghetti stuffed peppers recipe is a wonderful way to elevate a simple spaghetti dinner into something a little more special, without adding extra stress to your busy weeknights. Enjoy!
