    How to Make Satisfying Stuffed Chili Peppers

    Now let me break down this simple pepper-stuffing process for you! It’s super easy to do and I know you’ve got bellies to feed, so without further ado, here is how I make taco-inspired stuffed chili peppers:

    1. First, preheat the oven to 350°F and preheat a nonstick frying skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef to the skillet and mix in the taco seasoning.
      1. Keep cooking until the beef is browned all the way through, then drain.
    2. Then, combine the seasoned beef, rinsed black beans, taco sauce, and minced chipotle peppers in a large glass mixing bowl and mix well.
    3. Next, slice the large Anaheim peppers in half and fill each half with the beef stuffing. Transfer the stuffed peppers to an 8×8 Baking Dish.
    4. Finally, bake the stuffed chili peppers for 20 minutes. 
    5. Serve with sour cream, minced scallions, and a little bit of paprika before devouring!
