Beef Stuffed Peppers

Beef Stuffed Peppers
My Farm Shop had the most gorgeous looking peppers (capsicum in American English?) and I got carried away ... I bought too many, hence this is the first of two stuffed pepper dishes.

These are stuffed, simply with beef mince.

The beef mince is simply prepared, based on softened onions in beef dripping, some garlic, then the minced meat, beef stock and tomato purée  then settled on a low heat for a couple of hours.

When ready to eat, cut the peppers in half, scoop out the middles and pop them into the oven for about 20 minutes at 200C to cook through and soften.

Fill 'em up, top with cheese and return to the oven for the cheese to melt.

Serve out with a glob of soured cream on top.

Dairy not float your paleo boat? Leave it out. This is a fine meal as just minced beef stuffed peppers.

Enjoy!
