Stuffed Peppers

I use Garbanzo beans instead of rice. If doubling the peppers you can add a can of diced tomatoes to stretch the filling. If you don’t have broth you can omit or do a few splashes of water. It keeps things moist.

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut off the top of the bell peppers. Deseed and remove membrane. Place into an oven safe pan with high edges. I use an 8x8 or large muffin tin.

Step 2

In another pan heat oil on the stove over medium heat then add ground meat, cook thoroughly.

Step 3

Add onion, jalapeños, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder. Cook for a few minutes making sure to incorporate spices into meat. Stir in garbanzo beans.

Step 4

Add meat mixture to hollowed out peppers then top with cheese. If you have extra filling place around peppers and top that with cheese too. Add a few splashes of broth to the bottom of pan.

Step 5

Cook in oven at 350 degrees for 20-30mins until cheese is melted and peppers are tender.

Step 6

Top with salsa, sour cream, and cilantro
