Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Stuffed Bell Peppers.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a large nonstick skillet and heat it over medium-high.
Step 3
Add the ground beef and cook it until it’s beautifully browned and crumbly, making sure to drain any excess grease for a leaner dish.
Step 4
Next, toss in the minced garlic, diced onion, and canned tomatoes.
Step 5
Let this mixture sizzle for about three minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions start to soften and release their sweet aroma.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to bring in the star ingredient: stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese until it melts into a creamy, delicious blend.
Step 7
Once everything is well combined, take the skillet off the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 8
While that’s happening, prepare your red bell peppers.
Step 9
Carefully slice off the tops and scoop out the seeds and veins inside, creating little edible cups ready to be filled with flavor.
Step 10
Now, fill each pepper generously with the savory beef and cheese mixture.
Step 11
To keep them nice and moist during baking, pour a splash of chicken broth into each pepper.
Step 12
For a fun twist, place the stuffed peppers upright in the cups of a muffin tin, then pop the tops back on.
Step 13
This not only helps them hold their shape but also makes for a charming presentation.
Step 14
Slide the muffin tin into your preheated oven and let the peppers bake for about 30 minutes, or until they’re tender and inviting.
Step 15
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible! Once they’re done, take them out and serve warm, ready to impress your family or guests with this delightful dish.
Step 16
Enjoy every bite of your delicious stuffed peppers!.
