Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the bell peppers in half and remove the seeds. Place the pepper halves, cut side up, in a rimmed baking dish.
- Set a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes to soften. Then add in the ground beef. Break the meat apart with a wooden spoon and brown for 4-5 minutes.
- Mix in the taco seasoning, rotel, and 1 ¼ cups shredded cheese. Stir well. Scoop the meat filling into the empty bell pepper halves.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, or until the peppers are soft. Remove the foil the last 5 minutes, and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the tops.
- Serve warm, as-is, or topped with sour cream, pico de gallo, cilantro, lime wedges, or shredded lettuce.
Notes
- Don't want to use ground beef? You can use ground turkey, chicken, or pork as well!

- Place cooled leftovers in a container with a lid and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Enjoy the stuffed peppers cold, or reheated in a microwave or oven.
- I do not recommend that you freeze, however, as the peppers tend to get a bit mushy after thawing.
