Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the bell peppers by slicing off the tops and removing the seeds.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and crumble, leaving some fat in the pan.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and garlic, sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart, and cook until browned, around 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, crumbled bacon, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing well.
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt slightly into the mixture.
- Stuff the pepper halves with the meat mixture, generously packing them full.
- Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Notes
For the best results, choose fresh, firm peppers and adjust the spice level according to your taste. Serve these stuffed beauties garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream for an extra touch.
