Ingredients
- 6 bell pepper
- 1 lb. ground beef lean
- 1 yellow onion diced, small
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups Mexican rice prepared
- 1 chipotles in adobo 2 chopped chipotles from the can, can
- 1/2 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce sauce from can
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 2 cups Mexican-style cheese divided, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Slice the tops off the bell peppers and place bell peppers in a casserole dish. Remove the stems from the bell pepper tops and dice what's left, set 1/4 cup of the diced tops aside, discard or use the rest as desired.
- In a large, deep skillet or medium dutch oven, sauté ground beef with onion, garlic, diced bell pepper tops, chili powder, smoked paprika, and cumin. Cook about 10 minutes or until fully cooked. Add to the ground beef: Mexican rice, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, tomato sauce, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Stir until well-combined, then use a spoon to fill bell peppers.
- Add the last cup of cheese to the top of the stuffed peppers. Pour 1/4 cup of water in the bottom of the casserole dish and gently tent foil over the casserole dish, being careful that the foil doesn't touch the top of the peppers, so the cheese won't stick. Bake for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
