Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the peppers.

Step 2

Prepare the rice: In a saucepan, combine the uncooked rice and broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed, following the package instructions.

Step 3

Prepare the bell peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes from inside. Rinse the peppers.

Step 4

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, cooked protein (if using), dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it cook for a few minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 7

Stuff the bell peppers with the rice mixture, packing it tightly. Place the stuffed peppers in the prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle grated cheese on top of each pepper.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the peppers are tender.
