Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers, any color
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup sugar-free salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers in a baking dish, cut side up.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
- Add the taco seasoning to the cooked ground beef and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Spoon the seasoned ground beef evenly into each bell pepper half. Top each pepper with a spoonful of sugar-free salsa.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of each stuffed pepper.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with optional toppings such as diced avocado, sour cream, and chopped cilantro.
