Taco-Stuffed Sweet Peppers

Print Recipe

Taco-Stuffed Sweet Peppers are a fun, low-carb alternative to traditional tacos, using mini sweet peppers filled with seasoned ground beef, cheese, and classic toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 lb mini sweet peppers, halved and deseeded
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes.
  3. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until thickened.
  4. Arrange the halved mini sweet peppers on a baking sheet, cut side up.
  5. Spoon the taco meat mixture into each pepper half.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the stuffed peppers.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and peppers are slightly tender.
  8. Top with diced tomatoes, green onions, and a dollop of sour cream if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Make it vegetarian by substituting beans for the meat.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat.
