To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. While that’s heating up, cook your instant rice according to the package directions. Don’t worry, it’s easy peasy!
Next, heat up a large cast-iron pan or ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add in your ground beef, green peppers, and onion, and cook until the meat is no longer pink. Drain any excess liquid from the pan, then stir in your cooked rice, marinara sauce, and seasoning blend.

Now it’s time to add in the cheese and mix everything together until it’s fully incorporated. You can never have too much cheese, am I right?
In a small bowl, mix together your bread crumbs and oil until the bread crumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of your unstuffed peppers and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until everything is heated through and the topping is golden brown.

This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight meal, and it’s also great for meal prep. You can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days or freeze it for up to four months.
When you’re ready to reheat, simply cook it in the microwave, on the stovetop, or in the oven until it’s warmed through and starting to bubble on the sides.
