Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
¾ cup water
2 teaspoons chili powder
½ cup cooked rice
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce, divided
3 large red bell peppers
6 (1 inch) cubes Colby-Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Place the ground beef into a skillet over medium heat, and brown the meat, breaking it apart into crumbles as it cooks, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning, water, chili powder, cooked rice, salt, garlic salt, black pepper, and 1 can of tomato sauce; mix until thoroughly combined. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise, and remove stems, membranes, cores, and seeds. Place a steamer insert into a large saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Place the peppers into the steamer insert, cover the pan, and steam until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Place the steamed peppers into the prepared baking dish, and fill lightly with the meat filling. Press 1 cube of Colby-Jack cheese into the center of the filling in each pepper, and spoon the remaining can of tomato sauce over the peppers. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the peppers are tender and the filling is hot, 25 to 30 minutes.

1.5-pounds ground beef
3/4 cup uncooked rice
1 egg
2 tablespoons dried onion
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Add 1/2 cup water and remaining crushed tomatoes. Place peppers in the Pressure Cooker. Place lid on Pressure Cooker making sure it is set on seal, not vent. Set pressure on HIGH and cook for 12 minutes following your pressure cookers directions. Let pressure down for 5 minutes before venting, be careful when venting, steam is very hot. It was recommended to use the rack for stuffed peppers, but my peppers were too big to use with the rack, so I just placed them on the bottom of the cooker and they turned out fine.

Time 19m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 large green peppers, chopped
handful spinach leaves, coarsely chopped
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes in tomato puree
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the pressure cooking pot on the Browning/Sauté setting. Add the ground beef and onion and cook until beef is browned and crumbled. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute more.
  • Stir in green peppers, spinach, tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Lock lid in place, select High Pressure and 4 minutes cook time. When timer beeps, do a natural release for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure with a quick pressure release.
  • Turn off pressure cooker and pour casserole into an oven-safe baking dish. Sprinkle the cheese on top of casserole and broil until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.

Tips:

  • Choose colorful bell peppers for a visually appealing dish.
  • To make the filling, use a food processor or blender to quickly and easily chop the vegetables and meat.
  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can finely chop the vegetables and meat by hand.
  • Season the filling generously with chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder.
  • Don't overstuff the bell peppers, or they will burst during cooking.
  • If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can cook the bell peppers in a Dutch oven over medium heat for about 45 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through.
  • Serve the stuffed bell peppers with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Pressure cooker Mexican stuffed peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.
