Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole bell peppers
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup canned baked beans
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set the peppers upright in a baking dish.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until fully browned and no longer pink.
Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Mix in the canned baked beans and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Spoon the beef and baked bean mixture evenly into the hollowed-out bell peppers, packing the mixture in tightly.
Top each pepper with shredded cheddar cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Beef Baked Beans Stuffed Bell Peppers!
