• Cook Time: 35 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients List

• 6 bell peppers, assorted colors
• 1 pound Wagyu ground beef
• 1 cup cooked white rice
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for drizzling

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Peppers: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. If they don’t stand upright, trim the bottoms slightly. Set aside.
2. Parboil the Peppers: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Parboil the peppers for about 3-4 minutes to soften slightly. Remove with tongs and drain upside-down on paper towels.
3. Brown the Wagyu Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the Wagyu ground beef with the onions and garlic. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are translucent. Drain excess fat.
4. Combine the Filling: In a large bowl, mix the cooked beef, cooked rice, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper.
5. Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the beef and rice mixture into each bell pepper cavity. Place the peppers upright in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil.
6. Bake the Peppers: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
7. Add Cheese: Remove the foil, top each pepper with mozzarella cheese, and bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Do Wagyu Ground Beef Stuffed Peppers Go With?

Stuffed bell peppers are a meal in themselves, but they pair beautifully with a crisp green salad, a side of garlic bread, or even a creamy risotto for a more indulgent meal.

How Do You Keep Wagyu Ground Beef Stuffed Peppers from Falling Apart?

To keep them upright and intact, slice a thin layer off the bottom to make a flat base, if necessary. Also, don’t overcook the peppers before stuffing; they should still hold their shape. Using toothpicks to secure the tops can also help if you choose to replace them after stuffing.

Is There a Special Way to Cook Wagyu Ground Beef?

Yes, Wagyu beef should be cooked gently to allow the fat to render properly without burning. Avoid overcooking to maintain its tenderness and flavor.
