Here is a clear and detailed recipe for Stuffed Bell Peppers with proper headings:

Stuffed Bell Peppers
Ingredients
4 large bell peppers (any color)
1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
1 cup cooked rice
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup tomato sauce (for topping)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Bell Peppers
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes.
Stand them upright in a baking dish.
Optional: Parboil peppers in boiling water for 3–4 minutes for softer results.
2. Cook the Filling
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add diced onion and garlic; cook until softened.
Add ground beef or turkey and cook until browned.
Drain excess grease if needed.
Stir in cooked rice, drained diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Mix well and let heat through for 2–3 minutes.
3. Fill the Peppers
Spoon the meat and rice mixture into each bell pepper, packing lightly.
Pour a little tomato sauce over each stuffed pepper.
Cover the dish with foil.
4. Bake
Bake for 30 minutes covered.
Remove foil, add cheese on top of each pepper, and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Serve
Let cool slightly before serving.
Spoon any extra sauce from the bottom of the dish over the peppers if desired.
If you would like, I can provide variations such as Mexican-style stuffed peppers, vegetarian stuffed peppers, or cream cheese–stuffed peppers.
