Ingredients
For the Stuffed Peppers
- 1 lb Nutrafarms Ground Beef
- 3–4 bell peppers, halved and deseeded
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ yellow onion, finely chopped
- 5–6 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
- 1 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt, to taste
- ½–1 cup low-fat shredded cheese
Optional

🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Slice the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Reserve the tops of the peppers and finely chop them to use in the filling.
2. Roast the Peppers
Arrange the pepper halves on a baking tray.
Roast for 10 minutes until slightly softened and lightly browned. You want them tender enough to eat but sturdy enough to hold the filling.
3. Build the Filling
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and reserved pepper pieces. Cook until softened and fragrant.
Stir in:
- Diced tomatoes
- Chipotle peppers in adobo
- Tomato paste
Mix well until everything is combined.
4. Cook the Beef
Add the Nutrafarms ground beef to the skillet.
Season with:
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Paprika
- Salt
Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, stirring occasionally to combine all the flavours.
5. Stuff and Bake
Remove the roasted peppers from the oven.
Fill each pepper generously with the beef mixture.
Top with shredded cheese and return to the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Serve and Enjoy
Serve the stuffed peppers on their own for a lower-carb meal or over cooked rice if you're looking for something more substantial.
The combination of juicy beef, smoky chipotle, sweet roasted peppers, and melted cheese creates the perfect balance of comfort and flavour in every bite.
Why Nutrafarms Ground Beef Makes the Difference
Quality ingredients matter, especially in simple recipes like stuffed peppers. Nutrafarms ground beef provides rich flavour and dependable quality that allows the natural ingredients to shine.
When paired with fresh vegetables and simple seasonings, it creates a meal that's wholesome, satisfying, and easy to feel good about serving your family.
Pro Tip
Roasting the peppers before stuffing them helps develop their natural sweetness and prevents them from becoming undercooked during the final bake. It's a simple step that makes a big difference in the finished dish.
