→ Main Ingredients
01 -
12 mini peppers
02 -
1 lb ground beef
03 -
1/2 tsp salt
04 -
1/2 tsp black pepper
05 -
1/2 tsp paprika
06 -
1 tsp Italian seasoning
07 -
1/2 tsp garlic powder
08 -
1 tsp ground cumin
09 -
1 small onion, grated, with juice
10 -
1 large egg white
11 -
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, ground cumin, grated onion with its juice, and egg white. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
03 -
Cut each mini pepper in half lengthwise and remove seeds to create a cavity. Stuff each pepper half with the ground beef mixture, leveling the top flat.
04 -
Place the stuffed peppers on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the peppers soften and the ground beef is fully cooked.
05 -
Top each pepper with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the cheese melts. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Serving size is 2 peppers (4 halves).
02 -
Adjust salt in the ground beef mixture to taste, considering the cheese adds saltiness.
03 -
If fresh onion is unavailable, substitute with 2 tsp onion powder for similar flavor.
04 -
Freeze the onion for 15 minutes before grating to make it firmer and easier to handle.
