Servings: 4
Author: Justin Holmes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 diced onion
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 cloves chopped garlic
  • 4 chopped jalapeños
  • 16 oz mozzarella cheese
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup uncooked rice
  • Taco seasoning to taste
  • 4-5 whole green peppers
  • Cilantro to garnish

Instructions

  • To start out, preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Cut up the onion and cook until soft, then add garlic and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add in cooked ground beef (I made mine in a Pampered Chef meat cooker and drained it of excess fat).
  • Add a can of diced tomatoes. I used the one with oregano and basil added for more flavor.
  • Add rice.
  • Stir in jalapeños and additional seasonings desired and let it all cook while you prep your green peppers. Cut off the tops and core out all of them.
  • Stuff all your peppers with mixture and place in a baking dish where peppers stand up. Mine was a 7x7 and it worked perfectly.
  • Cover with foil and bake at 400°F for 40 mins or until peppers are soft.
  • Top with cilantro and enjoy!
