4-5 bell peppers, diced
olive oil
2 pounds (900g) ground beef
6 garlic cloves, grated
15oz (425g) crushed tomatoes or sauce
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons crushed dried oregano
optional: crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups shredded cheese: mozzarella, muenster, cheddar or your fave
1-2 teaspoons finely chopped parsley
tzatziki for serving
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 °F, 200 °C.

In an oven-proof skillet, cook the onion and olive oil over medium heat until soft and golden. About 8 minutes. Add the garlic and warm through until fragrant. About 30 seconds.

Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

Add the Flavor: Stir in the crushed tomatoes, salt, black pepper, cinnamon, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a boil and remove from the heat.

Top with cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes

Finish & Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with tzatziki on the side. Enjoy!

Notes
For extra depth of flavor, let the stew simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Make it on the stovetop instead of the oven: once the peppers are in the pan, bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the cheese and let it melt for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.
Want it spicier? Add more crushed red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne.
Make it low-fat: Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken.
Meal prep tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
