Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, picture this—I’m in the grocery store, and I’m on a mission. I grab a bag of mini peppers (12 of ‘em!) because they’re just too darn adorable to pass up, right? Then I’m hunting for ground beef, which, side note, the guy behind the counter was *maybe* a little too enthusiastic about telling me about the different kinds. 😂 Anyway, I scoop up some spices: salt, pepper, paprika (because life’s too short for bland food), Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and ground cumin. I also need a small onion (like, just one—don’t wanna cry too much), one egg white, and of course, a cup of shredded mozzarella because CHEESE.

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, so let me tell you why these stuffed peppers are my go-to. Last summer, I had friends over for a BBQ, and I wanted to impress them without going full-on burger mode (because carbs, you know?). I made these, and they literally disappeared in seconds! I mean, like, poof! One second I’m putting them on the table, the next they’re gone. My friend Jess even asked for the recipe, and I was like, “Uhh, it’s a secret! (but not really, here’s my phone number, text me anytime).” And now, every time I make them, I get these little flashbacks to that epic BBQ.

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, listen up! The magic happens when you grate the onion and add the juice. Seriously, it infuses the whole beef mixture with flavor! I learned this the hard way—once I just chopped it. Ugh, no. Grated is where it’s at. Your taste buds will thank you!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Don’t overstuff the peppers—leave the top flat, okay? They need to breathe!
2. Check the beef at 18 minutes—I’ve burnt ’em before (sigh), and no one wants that.
3. Make sure you spray the pan—I tried it once without spray, and let’s just say, it was a nightmare to clean. 😱

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

If you happen to have leftovers (which is a big “if”), just pop ‘em in an airtight container and they’ll chill in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the oven, but honestly, I just microwave ‘em—30 seconds and you’re back in business.

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too

Okay, so if you’re vibing with these stuffed peppers, you’ll love my Taco Cauliflower Bake (soooo good) and the Zucchini Pizza Bites (cheesy goodness). Trust me, they’re also easy and delicious!

Alright, what do you think? Have you ever tried stuffed peppers before? Drop your thoughts or any funny cooking fails—I’m here for it! 🥳
