Description

Imagine vibrant, bite-sized sweet peppers transformed into miniature vessels of savory delight. These stuffed peppers are a celebration of textures and flavors, beginning with the natural sweetness and slight crispness of the peppers themselves. Each pepper cradles a hearty filling of seasoned ground beef, offering a satisfying, meaty richness that forms the foundation of the dish.

The beef is carefully seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices, creating a warm and aromatic profile that complements the sweetness of the peppers beautifully. Mixed into the savory beef is a generous helping of spinach, adding a subtle earthy counterpoint and a welcome boost of nutrients. The spinach wilts gently as it cooks, melding seamlessly with the ground beef and adding a delicate, slightly vegetal note that balances the richness of the meat.

Atop this vibrant mixture sits a blanket of melted cheddar cheese, its sharp, tangy flavor creating a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the peppers and the savory depth of the beef. The cheese melts and bubbles under the heat, forming a golden-brown crust that adds a creamy, decadent element to each bite. These stuffed mini peppers are not only delicious but also visually appealing, their bright colors and inviting aroma making them a perfect choice for a light lunch or a satisfying snack.

They are ideally portioned for two, making them perfect for sharing with a friend or enjoying as a fulfilling individual meal. Each bite offers a symphony of flavors and textures – the sweetness of the pepper, the savory richness of the beef, the subtle earthiness of the spinach, and the sharp, creamy tang of the cheddar cheese. This dish is a delightful and wholesome way to enjoy a combination of fresh vegetables and savory protein.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray an oven-safe baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Prepare the mini sweet peppers by cutting off the tops, slicing each pepper in half lengthwise, and removing the seeds. Arrange the pepper halves in the prepared baking dish.
    2.
    Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, salt, pepper, mustard powder, and onion powder. Cook until the beef is thoroughly cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
    3.
    Chop the spinach and mix it into the ground beef mixture during the final minute of cooking, allowing the spinach to wilt slightly.
    4.
    Turn off the heat. Use a spoon to fill each pepper half with the ground beef mixture. It's okay if the filling slightly overflows.
    5.
    Top each filled pepper with shredded cheddar cheese. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden brown.
    6.
    Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the peppers cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
