Enjoy a quick and flavorful weeknight meal with these Taco Skillet Stuffed Peppers. This recipe combines seasoned ground beef, fluffy rice, and melted cheese, all nestled inside tender bell peppers, cooked conveniently in a single skillet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 large bell peppers, halved and seeded
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in taco seasoning, cooked rice, salsa, and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Arrange the halved bell peppers cut-side up in the skillet. Spoon the beef and rice mixture evenly into each pepper half.
  5. Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
  6. Remove the cover and sprinkle shredded cheese over the stuffed peppers.
  7. Return to the oven, uncovered, for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño to the beef mixture.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef.
  • If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the stuffed peppers to a baking dish after filling them.
