Swiss Onion Stuffed Peppers
Ingredients
- 1 red onion
- 1 Tb butter
- 4 red bell peppers
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 Tb Worcestershire sauce, or coconut aminos
- 5-6 dashes Tabasco sauce
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
Instructions
- To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Slice the peppers in half vertically and remove the stem, seeds, and the white membrane.
- Place the peppers in a 9×13 inch baking pan and bake for 15 minutes, or until the desired tenderness.
- While the peppers are baking, slice the onion and sauté it with the butter in a skillet over medium heat until golden and caramelized. Scoop the onions out into a dish and set aside for now.
- Cook the ground beef in the same skillet until browned, breaking it up a bit as it cooks.
- When the beef is browned, add in the salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco sauce. Stir well.
- Add in the onions and stir to combine.
- When the peppers are done baking, use a paper towel to blot out any liquid that may have pooled inside them. Then spoon the meat mixture into the peppers.
- Top each pepper with a slice of the Swiss cheese.
- Pop the baking pan back into the oven for just a couple more minutes to let the cheese get all melty and bubbly.
- Enjoy!
