Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Minced Beef
  • 1/2 Cup Diced Bacon
  • 1/2 Cup Diced Fresh Celery
  • 1 piece Onion
  • 2 piece Garlic Cloves
  • 1/3 Cup Tomato Sauce
  • 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream

Instructions

  • Wash and trim the bell peppers, removing seeds, then dice the onion, celery, and garlic. Cook the ground beef and bacon with the vegetables until browned, season well, then stir in tomato sauce, cream, and fresh herbs until fully combined.
  • Spoon the cooked filling tightly into each hollowed bell pepper, packing it in so each one is hearty and full.
  • Top the stuffed peppers with shredded cheese, place them in a baking dish, and bake at medium heat until the cheese is melted, golden, and the peppers are tender.

Notes

  • Choose Firm Bell Peppers: Peppers that are firm and heavy for their size hold up better to stuffing and grilling.
  • Don’t Overfill: Leave a little room at the top for the cheese and any sauce that may bubble up.
  • Use Foil for Grilling: If you’re grilling these directly, use foil under the peppers to prevent any filling from spilling out onto the grill.
