Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large bell peppers, any color
1 lb ground beef

2 c mild chunky salsa

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Cut the stem end of the peppers to remove a thin cap.
  • 3. Carefully remove the seeds and membranes. Rinse the peppers and dry. * If needed very thinly slice the bottoms so the pepper will stand up.

  • 9. Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes.
  • 10. Uncover and bake for 10 more minutes or until the peppers are tender.

These peppers were a great way to use up leftover rice and beans. I also added some chopped zucchini and mushrooms to the filling.
