Ingredients
- 3 bell peppers, halved and cored
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 chopped red pepper
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons dried cumin
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- ½ cup water
Serving with:
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Finely shredded lettuce
- Salsa
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pepper halves in an oven-safe baking dish and bake until the peppers soften, about 15 minutes.
(Tip: cooking the peppers before stuffing makes them easier to eat.)
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and all the other ingredients, cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain fat.
Stuff the peppers, cover in cheese, lettuce and salsa.
