Ground Beef Stuffed Peppers
In a medium-size skillet, sauté ground beef and onions. Once your meat is cooked add in your Spanish rice.
Next up is a mix of diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, and 1 ½ cups of cheese.
Mix all of your ingredients up and set it aside.
Preparing your peppers is easy. Start by cutting off the tops and taking out the seeds.
Wash your peppers and place them into your iron skillet.
Fill each pepper with the meat and rice mixture. Add about an inch of water to the iron skillet. This will prevent the peppers from sticking to the pan.
Place your skillet in the oven and cook for 30-35 minutes. Take out of the oven and sprinkle the remaining cheese on the top of each one. Place back in the oven for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Serve your yummy peppers with any additional toppings like Sour cream, Green Onions, Avocado, Diced tomatoes.
These stuffed peppers are full of a delicious filling made with seasoned ground beef, rice, onions, and chilies and topped with cheese, baked inside sweet bell peppers.
