Ingredients
- 4 bell pepper I did red, yellow and orange, large, 850g
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lb. ground beef lean, 96/4
- 1 Tbsp cumin ground
- 1 tsp oregano dried
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 cup rice I used microwavable rice, cooked, 72g
- 1/2 cup corn frozen, 68g
- 1 tomato diced, large, 270g
- 2 Tbsp cilantro more for serving, freshly chopped
- 1 cup cheese Monterey Jack, mozzarella, colby jack, etc; use Dairy Free if needed, shredded, 112g
- cilantro for topping, chopped
- sour cream for topping, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Cut the bell peppers in half down the middle (through the stem) and scoop out the seeds. Place bell peppers cut side down in the baking dish and bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for a minute or until garlic is fragrant. Then add the ground beef, cumin, oregano, salt and chili powder. Cook, stirring and breaking up the beef as you go, for 6-8 minutes or until the beef is no longer pink.
- Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the rice, corn, diced tomatoes and chopped cilantro.
- Take the peppers out of the oven and flip them over so they are cut side up. Stuff the meat mixture evenly* into peppers and top with shredded cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Top with sour cream (or plain greek yogurt) or whatever sounds yummy and serve!
