Mexican Stuffed Peppers

These Mexican stuffed peppers are just delicious! Bell peppers stuffed with perfectly seasoned cheesy, ground turkey and veggies make the easiest, tastiest Mexican dinner.

Why This Recipe Is So Good

• These cheesy, seasoned stuffed peppers are the perfect easy weeknight dinner! Stuffing made with ground turkey, corn, onions, and a few canned pantry staples make this recipe simple but still delicious.
• We love stuffed peppers for dinner, but they also make a delicious meal prep. Keep them in the fridge in an airtight container and then pop one in your lunchbox for an easy, midday fiesta.

How To Make It

1. Preheat the oven to 350º F.
2. Cook onions until soft in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the turkey and garlic. Cook until the turkey is browned the whole way through and no longer pink. Drain the liquid and return the turkey back to the skillet.
3. Add the Rotel, taco seasoning, and 3/4 cup water to the skillet and stir. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Allow to simmer until the sauce is thick, about 10-15 minutes. Add the rice, corn, and black beans and stir. Then add in half of the cheese and stir.
4. While the stuffing is cooking, cut off the tops of the peppers. Scoop out the insides so the peppers are hollow. Place in a baking dish.
5. Fill the peppers halfway with the cooked stuffing and top with a layer of cheese. Fill the peppers to the top with stuffing and then top with cheese. After stuffing the peppers, pour the remaining water around the bottom in the baking dish.
6. Cover the peppers with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and broil for 5 minutes.
