Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Bell Peppers (any color)
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1/2 Yellow Onion (diced)
- 2 teaspoons Minced Garlic (or 2 cloves garlic, minced)
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1 packet Taco Seasoning (1 ounce packet or 2 Tablespoons Homemade seasoning)
- 1 can Black Beans (15 ounces, drained or rinsed)
- 1 can Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies (Rotel)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Slice the peppers in half and remove any seeds, membranes and stems from the peppers.
- Place the sliced peppers in a baking dish or baking sheet, cut side up. Bake for 20 minutes until the peppers are tender and remove any excess water from the pan.
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat with the diced onions. Break up the beef as it cooks and sauté until the beef is no longer pink (5-7 minutes).
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about a minute until you can start to smell the garlic.
- Gently stir in the water, taco seasoning, beans and diced tomatoes with green chiles.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the excess liquid cooks off and all the flavors are combined.
- Scoop the beef mixture evenly into the bell pepper and top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is hot and melted.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
