INGREDIENTS:
- 4 medium green peppers seeded and halved
- 1½ pounds ground beef browned
- 1 recipe or packet taco seasoning mix
- ¾ cup water
- 1½ cup cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup salsa
INSTRUCTIONS:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
Wash peppers, then slice lengthwise in half through the middle and remove seeds. Place in a casserole dish with ¼ cups water. Cover and microwave 5 to 6 minutes, or until peppers are just getting soft. Check periodically for doneness.
-
In the meantime, brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Add the taco seasoning and water and cook according to recipe or packet instructions.
-
After the beef mixture is cooked, mix in sour cream, salsa, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
-
Spray a 13 x 9 baking dish with nonstick spray. Place cooked peppers inside the dish and generously stuff with meat and cheese mixture. Top with remaining cheese.

Bake peppers at 350 ° F for 20-30 minutes, or until peppers are heated through and cheese is melted. Serve with your favorite taco ingredients and a side of salsa. Enjoy!
NOTES:
Note: Due to reader feedback the microwave cooking time has been reduced to 5 or 6 minutes, but please start checking doneness after 3 or 4 minutes. With varying sizes of peppers and microwave wattage, cooking times could vary. Peppers will be slightly “shriveled.” It’s okay because you will stuff them with cooked ingredients, which will reduce oven cooking time.
