Stuffed Bell Peppers with Millet and Beef

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Stuffed Bell Peppers with Millet and Beef.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 450°F (230°C) and greasing a baking dish to ensure your stuffed peppers don’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a medium saucepan, combine millet, water, and vegetable bouillon cubes.

3. Step 3

   Bring this mixture to a lively boil, then lower the heat, cover it, and let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed and the millet is fluffy.

4. Step 4

   While that’s cooking, grab a skillet and warm up some olive oil over medium heat.

5. Step 5

   Toss in the chopped onion and crushed garlic, sautéing them until the onion becomes tender and fragrant, which should take around 8 to 10 minutes.

6. Step 6

   Next, add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks until it’s beautifully browned and crumbly, about another 8 to 10 minutes.

7. Step 7

   Stir in the rich tomato paste along with paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, and black pepper, letting this flavorful mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to meld all those delicious flavors together.

8. Step 8

   Once your millet is ready, combine it with the beef mixture, and don’t forget to fold in the fresh chopped cilantro and crumbled feta cheese for an extra burst of flavor.

9. Step 9

   Now, it’s time to fill those vibrant red bell peppers! Spoon the hearty filling into each pepper, standing them upright in your greased baking dish.

10. Step 10

    Pop the stuffed peppers into your preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until they’re just slightly tender.

11. Step 11

    After that, place the tops back on the peppers and return them to the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, allowing them to become perfectly tender and bursting with flavor.

    Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you prepare to serve this colorful and nutritious dish!.
