Step-by-step

As a busy mom of three, I'm always looking for quick and easy meals that my whole family will enjoy. These stuffed bell peppers are a lifesaver! They're packed with protein and veggies, and the melted cheddar cheese on top makes them irresistible. Plus, they're so easy to make—just prep the filling and pop them in the oven.

I love that these bell peppers are so versatile. You can use any type of ground meat you like, and you can add any veggies you have on hand. I often add black beans, corn, and onions, but you could also try zucchini, mushrooms, or tomatoes. And don't forget the cheese! I like to use a sharp cheddar, but you could also use mozzarella, Parmesan, or a blend of cheeses.

Pre heat the oven to 400 degrees.

Lightly coat the peppers with olive oil and roast in a baking dish about 20-25 minutes just until cooked thru.

Remove the peppers from the oven and allow to cool until you can handle them.

In a bowl add the taco seasoning, cooked ground turkey, chopped onions, black beans, corn and rice.

Add in the jar of salsa and mix well.

Carefully spoon the turkey mixture into each half of the bell peppers and place back into the baking dish.

Cook the peppers for another 15-20 minutes or until the peppers are cooked all the way thru.

Before removing from the oven sprinkle the tops of each pepper with shredded cheddar cheese.

Place back into the oven just until the cheese has melted.

Remove from the oven and top with fresh cilantro, avocado slices and/or sour cream just before serving.
