Are you looking for a meal that’s bursting with flavor and guaranteed to please the whole family? Look no further than these Cheesy Mexican Stuffed Peppers! Packed with savory seasoned beef, zesty onions, fiery chiles, and gooey melted cheese, these peppers are a fiesta for your taste buds.

Ingredients :

To whip up this culinary masterpiece, you’ll need:

• 4 large bell peppers
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 ounce of taco seasoning
• 1/2 onion, finely diced
• 1 can of chopped green chiles (4.5 ounce can)
• 1/4 cup of Medium Red Enchilada Sauce
• 2 cups of shredded Mexican blend cheese

Instructions:

1. Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 350°F. Line a baking sheet with foil to make cleanup a breeze.
2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook up that lean ground beef until it’s nice and crumbly. If there’s any excess grease, give it the boot and return the skillet to the heat.
3. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning, ensuring every morsel of beef gets a tasty coat. Toss in those diced onions and let them sizzle until they start to soften.
4. Once your beef is nearly cooked through and those onions are translucent, introduce the chopped green chiles and tangy enchilada sauce to the mix. Stir it all together, then set it aside and prepare for the next step.
5. It’s time to prep those peppers! Slice off the tops, scoop out the seeds and ribs, and lay them out on your prepared baking sheet.
6. Now comes the fun part – stuffing those peppers! Load them up with a hearty helping of the beef mixture, followed by a generous layer of shredded cheese, and then another dollop of beef. Don’t forget to crown each pepper with an extra sprinkle of cheese.
7. Pop the pepper tops back on and slide your tray into the oven.
8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is gloriously melted and bubbling.
9. Once they’re done, serve up your Cheesy Mexican Stuffed Peppers piping hot, garnished with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for that extra burst of flavor.

Serving Tips:

1. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro just before serving to add a burst of freshness and flavor.
2. Pair these Cheesy Mexican Stuffed Peppers with a side of Spanish rice or a crisp green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
3. Serve them alongside your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes like guacamole, salsa, or chips for a festive fiesta-style feast.
4. These stuffed peppers make a fantastic appetizer for parties or gatherings. Simply slice them into smaller portions and watch them disappear!

Storage Tips:

1. If you have any leftovers (which is rare because they’re so delicious!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
2. To reheat, simply place the stuffed peppers in the microwave or oven until heated through. You may want to add a sprinkle of cheese on top before reheating to keep them extra cheesy and gooey.
3. You can also freeze these stuffed peppers for longer-term storage. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. They’ll keep well in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
4. When ready to enjoy, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat following the same instructions as for refrigerated leftovers.
