Cheesy Beef Stuffed Peppers.

These Cheesy Beef Stuffed Peppers are the perfect holiday bites you didn’t know you needed. If you’re always the cook during the holidays then you know that it can feel like you’ve been cooking for days. On Christmas Day the cooking and eating can feel like a marathon event.

It would go a long way if your hungry friends and family weren’t breathing down your neck wondering when dinner will be ready. I recommend breaking up the day with little bites that keep them momentarily full until the main course. These Cheesy Beef Stuffed Peppers are the perfect holiday appetizers.

What’s in the Cheesy Beef Stuffed Peppers?

I kept mine simple with ground beef and corn then topped with cheese and baked to a melted perfection. There are however a lot of options to consider for the stuffing. For starch you can try, potatoes, sweet potato, stuffing, mashed potatoes, black beans or pumpkin. For the meat you could try minced chicken or pork, sausage, tuna, canned salmon or shrimp.

Consider making different types so that you’re catering for everyone’s needs. I would suggest a sausage and potato mix, ground beef and black bean, tuna and cheese, and a pumpkin and cheese dip stuffed in the peppers. These are four great options and everyone is likely to be happy.

This dish will not be the main dish. Whether appetizer or side dish you want to keep them at small sizes so that they don’t fill everyone up too much. Pick small sweet peppers, rinse and cut them in half. Carefully remove the core with the seeds and then stuff the cavity with your stuffing mixture of choice. Top with cheese and pop them on a tray that’s lined with foil and bake at 350 degrees until the cheese has melted to perfection.
