Ingredients
- 1 pound mini sweet peppers
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 10 ounces Red Gold ® Original Tex-Mex Diced Tomatoes & Green Chiles drained

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- Season the beef with the cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir to coat the meat.
- Add the tomatoes, cream cheese, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.

- Top with the remaining cheddar and place pan in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle with cilantro before serving.

Notes
- The mini peppers will still be crunchy after just 10 minutes. If you'd like softer peppers, cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
