Stuffed Peppers
Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers (any colour will do)
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- 1 lb ground meat (you can use pork, beef, chicken)
- pinch salt
- pinch pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp chili peppers (You can add more or less depending on how spicy you want it)
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup shredded cheese You can use any cheese you like, but it is optional!
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- In a medium pan, cook one of the bell peppers, onion, garlic, ground meat and all spices together until the ground meat is fully cooked
- While meat is cooking, cut peppers in half and remove stem and seeds
- Add cooked quinoa into meat mixture (I use my instant pot to cook my quinoa in 1 minute! If you don't have an instant pot, you can cook quinoa on the stove top following the package directions)
- Scoop meat and quinoa mixture into the half peppers , put onto a baking sheet or baking dish and cook for 25 minutes
- Remove from heat and add shredded cheese on top and put it back into the oven for an additional 5 minutes (If you don't want to add cheese, just cook it for a full 30 minutes)
- Remove from oven and enjoy!
