Trying again! Taco Stuffed Peppers
Half of a yellow bell pepper stuffed with taco filling and topped with melted cheese and sour cream.
Pro Tip! Substitute ground turkey or shredded chicken for an even leaner variation! And be sure to use my homemade taco seasoning for the ground beef, it’s outlined in the notes section of the recipe card!
How to Make Taco Stuffed Peppers
Slice each pepper in half and use a paring knife to trace along the stem and remove it.
Place on a baking sheet. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes at 350°. Prepare the filling mixture while the peppers cook.

Bell Peppers Are Over 90% Water
This is the main reason we pre-bake the halved peppers for 15 minutes. You’ll likely be able to pour water out from the middle of the pepper that would otherwise have gone into your taco filling.
It also allows you to cook the ground beef while the peppers cook, which saves time.
▢4 bell peppers
▢1 pound ground beef
▢1 small yellow onion, diced
▢1 oz. packet Taco Seasoning,, see notes for homemade recipe
▢2 tablespoons tomato paste
▢2 cloves garlic, minced
▢1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Slice the peppers in half and remove the stem/seeds.
Place them (hollow side up), on a greased baking sheet. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Discard excess water in the middle of the pepper.
Meanwhile, brown the ground beef in a large pan over medium-high heat. Drain any grease.
Add the diced onions and cook for 5 minutes. Add the Taco Seasoning, tomato paste, and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add 2/3 cup water. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
Add the black beans and tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes.
Scoop the taco filling inside each of the baked peppers. Top each with cheese. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and melted. Serve!

@Bexsy give this a try next time and see how you like it when cooking the ground beef.
Cajun seasoning, tablespoons butter, garlic and onion powder, cumin, worcestershire, salt, black pepper, thyme, oregano, and cilantro.
Put the butter and Worcestershire in after the meat is mostly brown.
