→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
02 -
1 large egg white
03 -
1 small onion, grated with its juice
04 -
1 tsp ground cumin
05 -
1/2 tsp garlic powder
06 -
1 tsp Italian seasoning
07 -
1/2 tsp paprika
08 -
1/2 tsp black pepper
09 -
1/2 tsp salt
10 -
1 lb ground beef
11 -
12 mini peppers
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn the oven on to 350°F (175°C). Coat a baking tray lightly with some olive oil spray to stop sticking.
02 -
Toss ground beef, salt, black pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, ground cumin, grated onion with its juice, and egg white together in a large bowl. Stir it up until everything's blended well.
03 -
Slice each mini pepper down the middle lengthwise and clear out the seeds to form little pockets. Fill each pocket with the meat mix, packing it evenly and flattening the top.
04 -
Set the stuffed peppers onto the oiled baking tray. Bake them for about 20 minutes or until the peppers get tender and the meat cooks thoroughly.
05 -
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on each pepper. Pop them back in the oven for 3-4 minutes so the cheese melts nicely. Sprinkle some chopped parsley on top if you'd like before serving!
# Notes:
01 -
Each serving includes 2 peppers or 4 halves.
02 -
Feel free to tweak the salt in the meat mixture since the cheese brings extra saltiness.
03 -
If you don't have fresh onion, swap it with 2 tsp of onion powder for a close flavor.
04 -
Chilling the onion in the freezer for about 15 minutes makes it firmer and easier to grate.
