Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 bell peppers (any color)
1 lb lean ground beef
1 small onion finely chopped
2 clove garlic minced
3 Tbsp taco seasoning
1 c water
1 can(s) fire roasted tomatoes
1/2 c white rice (uncooked)
3/4 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 c shredded pepper jack cheese
chopped cilantro (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Start by cutting off the tops of the peppers and removing the seeds and membranes. Boil the peppers in a large pot of water for about 4-5 minutes. Drain the peppers very well.
  • 2. In a large skillet over medium heat brown the ground beef. When the ground beef is about halfway browned add the onion and cook until it is soft and the beef is browned. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute stirring constantly. Add the taco seasoning, water, fire roasted tomatoes, and rice. Bring it all to a simmer and then cover and cook until the rice is tender.
  • 3. Fill the peppers with the ground beef mixture and place in a casserole dish. Then cover and bake for about 40-45 minutes. Spread the tops of the peppers evenly with both cheeses and bake until the cheese is melted. If desired top with chopped cilantro.

The peppers were a bit too oily for my taste. I would recommend draining the ground beef before adding it to the filling.

The peppers were delicious, but they were a bit difficult to stuff. I would recommend using a smaller spoon or a piping bag to fill the peppers.

The peppers were a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices, such as chili powder, cumin, and paprika, to the filling.

These peppers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I would recommend using a milder pepper, such as a bell pepper, if you don't like spicy food.

These peppers were easy to make and turned out great! I would recommend using a variety of peppers, such as bell peppers, poblano peppers, and jalapeƱo peppers, to add different flavors and textures.

I made these peppers last night and they were delicious! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and they were still very flavorful. The peppers were also very tender.
