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
- Preheat oven to 350F
- In a not-stick skillet, brown the meat and drain excess fat. Add the tomato sauce and seasonings, and remove from heat.
- While the meat is browning, blanch the peppers in a large pot of boiling water for 5 minutes, or until slightly tender.
- 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.”
- Arrange each pepper bowl on a foil lined casserole dish (9x13”).
- Fill each pepper with meat mixture and top with cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes
- Garnish with sliced tomatoes, lettuce, black olives, and sour cream.
