Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 4 Anaheim peppers
  • 6 bell peppers cored and seeded
  • 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
  • 1 medium white onion finely chopped
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Kent's chili seasoning or chili seasoning of your suiting
  • ½ tablespoon Kent’s Mesquite seasoning or salt, pepper and ancho chili powder to taste
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh Chile Co. Red Chile Sauce or enchilada sauce or salsa
  • Shredded Parmesan cheese for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet.
  • Core and seed the bell peppers. Place the bell and Anaheim peppers on a grill or burner. Cook the bell peppers until they begin to soften and are slightly charred, rotating occasionally. Cook the Anaheim peppers until they are thoroughly charred, rotating occasionally.
  • Remove from the heat and place the Anaheim peppers in a plastic sack with 2 tablespoons of water. Let rest for a few minutes then remove from the sack and peel off the skins. Set aside.
  • Crumble the beef In a medium skillet, over medium-high heat. When the meat begins to brown, stir in the onion, chile and Mesquite seasonings. Continue cooking until the meat has browned.
  • Stir in the rice and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes then remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Cut the blistered Anaheim peppers into ¼ to ½ inch strips. Place 1 - 2 tablespoons of Mozzarella cheese in the bottom of a bell pepper. Drape the strips of cut Anaheim peppers on the sides of the bell peppers. Generously stuff each bell pepper with meat.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle each pepper with 1 - 2 tablespoons of Mozzarella cheese. Continue baking another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
  • Remove from the oven and spoon over red sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan. Serve warm.
