Twice-Baked Shepherd’s Pie Stuffed Bell Peppers: A Comforting Twist on a Classic Recipe


  • Author: Kimberly

Ingredients

– 4 large green bell peppers
– 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1/2 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
– 1/4 cup beef broth
– 2 tbsp tomato paste
– 2 cups mashed potatoes
– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tbsp olive oil


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Lightly brush the peppers with olive oil and place in a baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
2. In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until softened. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in tomato paste, beef broth, frozen vegetables, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Fill each pepper with the beef mixture, pressing it down gently. Top with mashed potatoes and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
5. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.
