  • In this video, we will be making delicious and easy taco stuffed peppers. This recipe is perfect for those who are short on time or enjoy meal prepping. The best part is, you can customize it to your liking! You can use ground beef and rice like I will be doing, or substitute with ground turkey and quinoa, ground chicken and beans, or even just meat and cheese. Consider this recipe as a guide to creating your own taco filled pepper situation.Before we start, I recommend using bell peppers that are on the larger side. I will be using three today, but you can adjust according to your preferences. To prepare the peppers, simply cut them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Now, the peppers need to be partially cooked. You have a couple of options here. You can place them in a shallow plate and microwave for around 5-6 minutes. This will give them a tender texture. Alternatively, you can bake them in the oven with a little bit of water underneath and cover them with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes.For convenience, I will be microwaving mine. It only takes a few minutes and makes the peppers easy to work with. Once they are partially cooked, they become pliable and ready to be filled with all the delicious taco ingredients. So let's get started and enjoy this quick and simple recipe!

  • to creating your own taco filled pepper situation.
  • They are so good.
  • They are so easy.
  • Great meal prep.
  • Like I said, if you are a meal prepping person,
  • It's fantastic, let's start off with bell peppers, these are pretty humongous, as you can see I'm going to use three today, I may have enough filling for all three or I may just save some for a fourth.
  • And what I like to do is I like to cut them in half lengthwise, grab my spoon that I just had in my hands, but for some reason I
  • place it over there.
  • And what you want to do is these peppers need to be partially cooked.
  • And now you can do one of a few things because I love to be able to give you options.
  • You can put these in a shallow plate and pop them into the microwave for five, six minutes and they will cook up just enough that it gives them like that tender, you know, it gives them a little bit more of a tender texture.
  • or you can pop them into the oven in a baking sheet with a little bit of water underneath, cover them with some aluminum foil, and do that for about twenty minutes or so.
  • The option is really up to you.
  • I'm going to just throw mine in the microwave, honestly, because I want to get these done in a nice, quick fashion.
  • And like I said, they're only going to take a few minutes in the microwave.
  • It makes them so easy and pliable.
  • You can use
  • small bell peppers, big bell peppers, colorful bell peppers, all red, whatever your heart desires.
  • I'm going to do that, I also have some rice cooking, I want it to be partially cooked, I'm going to cook it shy of two minutes so it's a little al dente.
  • I'm going to pop these into the microwave and then I'll show you, and then we'll move on to the next step while these are in there.
  • I'm gonna make my filling in my shallow Dutch oven, I got a little bit of olive oil, and like I said, you can make this with any protein.
  • get that cranked up, any protein that you like, or if you don't wanna use any meat, you can just use beef, beef, ha, you can use beans instead.
  • This is great with quinoa, this is great if you wanna use quick cooking rice, whatever you have, it's all about tailoring the recipe to fit your needs, not the other way around.
  • If I had turkey on hand instead of beef, I'm not going back to the grocery store.
  • I'm also gonna buy whatever's on sale.
  • So for me, it's a ninety three percent lean ground beef this week, which is great.
  • A little lean for my liking, but honestly, I don't want too much fat, plus I'm gonna be adding some cheese, I'll be adding some sauce, so it's gonna have lots of moisture and delicious flavor.
  • I'm gonna cook this down until it develops really beautiful color and cooks down quite a bit, and in the meantime, I am going to mince up an onion and a few cloves of garlic.
  • Just adding a teeny weeny bit more olive oil, because like I said, it's really lean ground beef.
  • I'm adding my onions and my garlic.
  • I'm going to add a pinch of salt, not too much, because we are gonna be adding taco seasoning, and depending on what you use, some are saltier than others.
  • You can also make your own like I do.
  • Pinch of salt.
  • And I'm just gonna let this cook until the onions cook down, get really fragrant, really yummy.
  • Just about, I'd say, four to five minutes.
  • adding my seasoning, stir that in, let that cook for like thirty seconds because when those spices hit that heat and that fat, that's when they bloom.
  • That's when they really develop all that beautiful flavor.
  • And now at this point, it's honestly unbelievably easy.
  • What you're gonna do is you're gonna add some salsa.
  • Now I know, listen, don't come for me, this is jarred salsa.
  • Doesn't have a lot of place in my kitchen, but here it does.
  • It's gonna provide you some moisture, it's gonna provide you deliciousness, and it's got a lot of flavor in one.
  • But you can also use tomato sauce, of course, no problem.
  • Not a big deal at all.
  • Once that's in there, I'm actually gonna turn it off the heat.
  • I'm gonna add my rice.
  • You need about one cup of cooked rice.
  • And like I said, I like to part boil it.
  • I don't wanna cook it all the way because it's gonna continue cooking in the oven and I don't want it to be mushy.
  • Nobody wants it to be mushy.
  • Give that a stir.
  • Taste it for seasoning.
  • I don't think it's gonna need that much more.
  • My rice in.
  • I cooked a little bit extra, but those peppers are big.
  • They can handle it.
  • Give that a good stir.
  • And now I'm gonna let this cool and shred my cheese.
  • I'm using yellow cheddar and white cheddar.
  • And I'm just gonna go ahead and give that a nice grate.
  • took my bell peppers, remember I popped them into the microwave for about nine minutes and they're nice and tender, they're not cooked all the way through obviously and that's the point.
  • I laid the bottom with a little bit more salsa and some just plain tomato sauce so that we've got that going on.
  • Really important tip is to season your peppers.
  • Season the inside of those peppers.
  • Peppers are really sweet, which is great, but sometimes they can be a little one dimensional, like sometimes they can be a little too sweet, let's just say.
  • I'm adding a little bit of my cheese, not much, just a little bit to the filling, just to kind of hold it all together.
  • And then I'm gonna add the rest on the top.
  • I've got my oven preheated to three seventy five and now I'm just going to literally stuff these peppers.
  • I might not use all this filling obviously because this is really meant for four peppers which would be eight halves.
  • But I found these really big ones and by the way, can we just talk about the price of bell peppers these days?
  • Are they made out of gold?
  • Because why are they three ninety nine a pound?
  • You know what I mean?
  • I might have to grow them myself, and by me I mean my husband, because I will kill a fake plant.
  • He, however, dominates the garden.
  • So, I might have to figure out a way to grow some bell peppers.
  • Just gonna fill these up, pack them nice and tight, you know?
  • Why not?
  • Drizzle a little more tomato sauce on each one and trust me when I tell you all the flavors that's in there will do everything wonders.
  • Now I'm going to cover this, I'm going to do a layer of parchment and a layer of aluminum foil just so that the aluminum doesn't react directly again.
  • Tomato sauce.
  • Gonna pop this into my preheated oven at three seventy five for about a half hour and then that'll give it enough time for like the rice to fully cook through, the meat to tenderize a bit, that sauce to get all saucy, you know?
  • And then we'll top it with the cheese and then we'll pop it back in but we'll cross that bridge once we get to it.
  • Peppers look gorgeous, I took them out, took the foil off.
  • I'm gonna top them with the cheese.
  • Just pop them back in another ten minutes or so until the cheese is nice and melted.
  • Does that look good or does that look good?
  • And they smell fantastic.
  • Absolutely fantastic.
  • I like them cheesy.
  • I like them real thick and cheesy.
  • You know?
  • Pop them right back in.
  • Maybe ten minutes or so until the cheese is melted and then you're done.
  • Now those look spectacular.
  • They just came out of the oven.
  • They're very, very hot.
  • And listen, not the kind of thing that's ever stopped me before.
  • That's really hot.
  • Just try to take one out.
  • Oh, look at that.
  • Oh, listen, you know what I need when I serve this?
  • You know what I'm gonna serve it with?
  • Some sour cream, a little cilantro.
  • Delicious.
  • I don't have to tell you that these are not an authentic anything, but they're delicious.
  • Look at the center.
  • This is the thing that gets me.
  • Everything is just soft and mushy and cheesy.
  • The pepper, look at that.
  • Perfection!
  • It slices with a butter knife, okay?
  • It slices with a butter knife.
  • This is gonna be so hot.
  • Mmm!
  • That is delicious!
  • That is so delicious!
  • Everything is in one, you don't even need any sides if you don't want to, maybe just a simple mixed green salad will do, maybe some frozen vegetables with a little butter and garlic salt will do.
  • It's divine!
