Southwestern Stuffed Peppers

Disclosure: This Southwestern Stuffed Peppers recipe is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Fresh From Florida. 

All opinions are 100% mine.

These Southwestern Stuffed Peppers  are flavored with taco seasoning. If you were never that impressed with the flavor of stuffed peppers you need to try this recipe.

Add in some fresh tomatoes, sweet corn and black beans and you have a perfect meal that cooks in one skillet and is on the table in less than 40 minutes.

I buy Florida produce every time I go grocery shopping. I am a label reader.

I make it a point to buy produce that has been grown in Florida and so can you.

Florida Bell Peppers

My Southwestern Stuffed Peppers recipe was inspired by a Taco-Stuffed Bell Peppers recipe I saw.

Southwestern Stuffed Pepper ingredients

This is a very easy stuffed pepper recipe to make. The filling is made in one skillet then stuffed into the peppers and baked for about 20 minutes.

You can get dinner on the table in less than 40 minutes!

How to make Southwestern Stuffed Peppers

You will need to brown the ground beef, onion and garlic first.

Add the taco seasoning, water, corn, black beans, tomatoes and shredded cheese to the stuffed pepper filling in the skillet.

Let the filling cook for a few minutes so the cheese can melt. Remove the skillet from the burner to cool just enough to add the remaining shredded cheese.

Fill the bell peppers, top with more shredded cheese and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the filling is heated through and the cheese is melted.
