Yield 6 peppers

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 large bell peppers, or 8 medium, ensure they have a flat base so they will stand up when cooking
1 lb ground beef
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 can black beans, drained
1 cup brown rice, cooked
1 cup frozen corn
1 jar medium chunky salsa, 1 jar, 16 oz
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix, 1 packet, or make your own
1 ½ cups cheddar cheese, grated, or mexican blend cheese
guacamole, to garnish, optional
sour cream, to garnish, optional
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon corn starch
½ teaspoon paprika

¼ teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Cut off the top and remove the seeds from each pepper.
  • Place in a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 350˚F (175˚C).
  • While the Peppers are roasting - heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and season with entire taco seasoning packet. Allow beef to brown on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.

GIANT STUFFED PASTA SHELLS



Giant Stuffed Pasta Shells image

Yummy and easy shells, stuffed with garlic, thyme, mushrooms, and spinach ricotta. Perfect for a weeknight dinner! Add more cheese or any kind of meat! A lamb/pork mixture is really good; get a nice sear on it and add it to the spinach and mushroom (sans ricotta) maybe some goat cheese? Have fun with it!
