Fire Roasted Stuffed Peppers

2.5lbs ground beef

Half a white onion

3 bell peppers

Basmati rice

Swiss cheese

Tomato Sauce

2c tomato sauce

2c crushed tomatoes

Diced 1/4c black olives

Diced 1/4c mushrooms

S/p, cayenne, sriraacha, chili powder, bread crumbs

Garlic finely chopped

Chopped Parsley and basil

Brown ground beef with a touch of olive oil garlic and onion. Then mix in tomato sauce. Boil the rice until al dente. Next I strained and cooled it down under cold water. Then add the rice to your sauce to your desired ratio. This time I went heavier on the meat( there was plenty of extra meat n rice on the side.. I could have gone for another 3 peppers...even more if you increase rice ratio to 50/50 and over)

Throw those peppers into a big ziplock with some olive oil, a dab of balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper. I lightly roasted the peppers on the bbq, turning them every 3-4mins for 15mins.  Try to take most of the char off the peppers(the burnt flakes)..as best you can.

Cut the top out of the pepper, as you would when making a jack o lantern. And clean out the inside(I didnt do this earlier for fear of ruining the walls.

Next I threw the peppers in the oven for 15mins as it reaches 400.

Time to put it all together. Spoon in the filling Stand the pepper up best you can on a dish( mine kept falling and so I was cussin through this process.) top each one with swiss and put those suckers in the oven at 400 for 15-20 until cheese has browned.   Et Voila!
