Ingredients

4 large bell peppers (any color)
1 pound ground beef
1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
1 cup salsa
1 teaspoon taco seasoning
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Peppers: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them upright in a baking dish.
Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Mix the Filling: Reduce heat to low, then add cooked rice, black beans, corn, salsa, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat.

Stuff the Peppers: Fill each bell pepper with the ground beef mixture, pressing down lightly to pack the filling. Top each pepper with shredded cheese.
Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the peppers are tender and cheese is melted.
Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve hot with additional salsa or toppings on the side.
