Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds.
  3. Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.

  9. Garnish with fresh parsley if using and serve.

Notes

Feel free to mix up the filling with your favorite ingredients, such as black beans, shredded chicken, or quinoa for a different protein source. If you like a bit of spice, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. Use a variety of colored bell peppers for a vibrant presentation.
