An old family staple has always been Stuffed Peppers. I can remember hating stuffed pepper night as a kid, but these days, that feeling has changed. My family LOVES mexican food and honestly, it can be hard incorporating veggies that we all like into a dinner. So I came up with an easy summer recipe to get my kiddos excited about a new meal and trying something else! Introducing the Mexican Stuffed Peppers! Mexican Stuffed Peppers take the traditional stuffed pepper recipe that you know and love and kick it up a notch with taco seasoning, black beans, green chiles, cumin spices, and more! This is still the easy to make and reliable family recipe you’re used to, but just with some added flare and flavor to make your family go “WOW! These are good!”. Let’s jump into this fun Mexican inspired family meal idea…

How to Make Mexican Stuffed Peppers

This recipe is very simple to make, you use white rice, black beans, tomato sauce, green chiles, beef, and cheese to make a fun version of an old time favorite.

hunts tomato sauce mexican stuffed peppers recipeGather up your ingredients and then start by browning  your ground beef, draining, and adding taco seasoning to the mix according to instructions. While the beef is being prepared I start cutting my peppers in half and place them on top of the Hunt’s Tomato Sauce mixture I’ve prepared (see recipe for details).

add halves of red peppers to pan

Next, combine tomato sauce, diced chile peppers, and seasonings “to taste” and cook in a saucepan on the stove.

Then fill your peppers with the taco meat, rice, and black beans prepared (according to the above recipe) to create my stuffed peppers.

Before putting in the oven, I top my stuffed peppers with the remaining tomato sauce mixture and add cheese to the whole thing (the more cheese the better I say!).

add cheese and place in the oven

After my peppers are stuffed and ready they are cooked in the oven for 30-45 minutes until done and melted…they will smell delish!

The cheese makes a nice crispy crust on top of the pepper and the tomato sauce adds a great taste to the whole pepper that compliments the spices nicely.

Once out of the oven, I add a dollop of sour cream on top of the pepper and serve hot. AND they warm up great the next day too (I had it today for lunch!!)
