Bell peppers stuffed with a mixture of ground beef and rice.
A recipe from my mother-in-law.

4 | yellow or red sweet peppers, halved lengthwise, deseeded | 800 g | |
1 | onions, finely chopped | 200 g | |
1 stalk | celery, cut into small pieces | 70 g | |
1 tbsp | butter, unsalted | 14 g | |
2 tsp | olive oil | 10 mL | |
400 g | ground beef, lean, or medium-lean | ||
1/2 cup | beef broth | 125 mL | |
3/4 tsp | paprika | 2 g | |
1/2 tsp | cayenne pepper [optional] | 1 g | |
1 pinch | salt [optional] | 0.2 g | |
ground pepper to taste [optional] | |||
1 1/2 tbsp | Parmesan cheese, grated | 5 g | |

The peppers may be stuffed 1 to 2 days ahead, then covered and chilled in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, sprinkle them with the cheese, pour water in the dish, then bake.
The prepared, stuffed peppers may also be baked ahead of time, then warmed up 15 min in the oven at 120°C/250°F before serving.

I felt this recipe was kind of dry and a bit bland. I paired it with pasta and sauce which helped a bit, but it's just 'okay' not really worth the work. Definitely needs something to make it more moist and flavorful!
These are exactly as Grand'ma used to make them: awesome!
It was ok.. Greasy would use ground turkey next time. I've had better.
