Ingredients

  • 6 Large Red Bell Peppers
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 Large Zucchini
  • 3 Cloves Garlic Minced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉

  • Add the cooked beef back into the pan and mix together the taco seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and half and half until everything is fully mixed together. Fold in the beans.
  • Place the peppers in a baking dish and evenly fill each pepper with the beef mixture. Top with shredded cheese.
  • Cook until the cheese is bubbly and melted between 7-10 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
