Delicious Taco Stuffed Bell Peppers

These Taco Stuffed Bell Peppers are filled with seasoned ground beef, black beans, corn, and cheese, all baked until the peppers are tender. The recipe takes about 50 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

4 large bell peppers (any color)
1 pound ground beef or turkey
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
1 cup salsa
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Sour cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Peppers: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
Cook the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey. Drain excess fat, then add black beans, corn, taco seasoning, and salsa. Stir to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through.
Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the taco filling into each bell pepper, packing it tightly. Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each stuffed pepper.
Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve: Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream if desired.
