Making Easy Stuffed Bell Peppers is simple with these clear steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare Peppers: Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set them aside.

3. Mix Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked rice, cooked ground meat, drained beans, diced tomatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.

4. Stuff Peppers: Generously fill each bell pepper with the rice and meat mixture. Pack the filling tightly but leave some room at the top.

5. Place in Baking Dish: Arrange the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. If they wobble, you can slice a small piece off the bottom to create a flat surface.

6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each filled pepper for a cheesy and delicious finish.

7. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
