Cheeseburger-stuffed peppers offer a delightful twist on a classic meal, combining the savory flavors of a cheeseburger with the healthy benefits of bell peppers. This recipe is perfect for a family dinner or a fun take on a traditional dish that packs a nutritious punch.
- Pre-cook the brown rice to save time during meal preparation.
- Consider using a meat thermometer to ensure the ground beef reaches an internal temperature of at least 160°F (70°C) for safety.
- For a spicier version, try adding chopped jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the filling mixture.
- If you prefer a different type of cheese, cheddar or pepper jack can be great substitutes for mozzarella.
- Par-bake the peppers for 10 minutes before stuffing to ensure they are tender after the final bake.
- Feel free to add other veggies to the filling mixture, like diced tomatoes or mushrooms, for an extra nutritional boost.
These cheeseburger-stuffed peppers are a hearty and delicious meal that the whole family will love. The combination of savory beef, spices, and gooey mozzarella cheese all packed into a vitamin-rich pepper makes for a satisfying and nutritious dish.
