Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large bell peppers, any color
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • ¾ cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Brown the beef, then add onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika and cook 3 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the cooked rice and ½ cup tomato sauce.
  3. Cut the tops off the peppers and clean out the seeds and membranes. Spoon filling into each pepper.
  4. Place peppers in a 370°F air fryer basket and cook 12 to 14 minutes.
  5. Spoon remaining tomato sauce on top, add cheese, and air fry 2 to 3 more minutes until melted. Serve hot.

Notes

Let the cooked peppers sit just a minute after they come out of the basket so the filling settles and you don’t burn your tongue on the first bite.
