Ingredients

  • 4 large green bell peppers
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and sliced black olives for garnish

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350F
  2. In a not-stick skillet, brown the meat and drain excess fat. Add the tomato sauce and seasonings, and remove from heat.
  3.  While the meat is browning, blanch the peppers in a large pot of boiling water for 5 minutes, or until slightly tender.
  4. Allow the peppers to cool enough to handle, and slice each on lengthwise, scoop out seeds and membranes so you will have 8 half pepper “bowls.”
  5. Arrange each pepper bowl on a foil lined casserole dish (9x13”).
  6. Fill each pepper with meat mixture and top with cheese.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes
  8. Garnish with sliced tomatoes, lettuce, black olives, and sour cream.
