Instructions
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s warming up, grab a large skillet and cook the ground beef over medium-high heat. Stir it around until it’s nicely browned and crumbly, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Once the beef is cooked, drain off any excess grease.
Step 2
Next, add the water and taco seasoning to the skillet with the beef. Keep cooking and stirring until the water has mostly evaporated—this usually takes about 5 minutes.
Step 3
In a big bowl, combine the seasoned beef with the cooked rice, tomato soup, chopped tomatoes, mushrooms, red onion, crumbled feta, and sliced green onions. Mix it all together well.
Step 4
Now, stuff each green bell pepper with the mixture and place them upright in a baking dish. Pop the dish into your preheated oven and bake for about an hour, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.
Step 5
Serve these flavorful stuffed peppers alongside some kalamata olives for a tasty finish.

Storage Tips
Store leftover peppers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the peppers tender without drying out the filling. You can also freeze the filling separately for up to 2 months and stuff fresh peppers when ready.
