BBQ Beef Stuffed Peppers
Description
This recipe uses ground beef sautéed with diced onions, combined with a homemade barbecue sauce made from tomato sauce, brown sugar, mustard powder, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Instant rice and water are stirred in, and the mixture is placed inside halved bell peppers. Cheddar cheese is sprinkled on top before baking.
Baking at 350 degrees allows the peppers to soften while the cheese melts and browns slightly. The dish delivers a hearty texture with tender beef, soft rice, and softened peppers balanced by a sweet and tangy BBQ flavor profile.
The recipe finishes with adding beef broth and some of the sauce at the bottom of the baking dish to keep peppers moist. Wrapping the dish with foil during baking traps steam and ensures even cooking for the filling and peppers.
