How to make Taco Stuffed Peppers

Before you get your ground beef mixture started, slice your choice of bell peppers in half and scoop out the seeds. Place them cut side down on a greased cookie sheet and roast for 20 minutes. This will soften the peppers and sweeten them up.

I personally prefer yellow, red and orange bell peppers, but the beauty of this recipe is that you can use a variety and satisfy everyone’s preference.

While the peppers are roasting, get to work on your simple ground beef mixture. Don’t forget to grab your hamburger chopper! It is one of the few kitchen gadgets that I absolutely love and will make room for in my utensil drawer. It makes light work of chopping ground beef up.

After your peppers have roasted for 20 minutes, use a tong to remove them from the pan and place them in a greased baking dish, cut side up. Once your ground beef is all seasoned up and cooked through, mix in half of the grated cheese. Divide the meat between your roasted bell peppers.
