1 lb. ground beef

1/2 C. Parmesan cheese

1/2 C. finely diced sweet bell pepper

1 large egg, slightly beaten

1 C. fresh bread crumbs (place bread in food processor, process to crumbs)

Salt, pepper, & 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

3 C. tomato sauce

1 C. crushed or diced tomatoes

2 T. olive oil

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Carefully slice the bottom of each onion, forming a flat surface so onion won’t tip over. Combine meat, cheese, diced onion, and eggs, and mix until ingredients are incorporated. Add the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Distribute the meat mixture, filling each onion evenly, pressing it down and shaping with your fingers or a spoon. Combine tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes, and spread in bottom of a baking dish. Place stuffed onions in the tomato sauce. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
