Steak & Black Bean Stuffed Peppers

Steak & Black Bean Stuffed Peppers are made with only 3 simple ingredients! They make weeknight meals simple, fast and flavorful — and something that the whole family will love! 

Stuffed peppers might seem fancy, but they are really just a fun way to serve up peppers! They are easy, delicious, and a perfect way to impress both family and friends.

We filled the peppers with our Steak & Black Bean Bowl, which is pre-made with fire-grilled steak, southwestern-style veggies, black beans, rice, rancheros sauce, and sharp cheddar cheese. But, you could always opt to go with our Chicken Black Bean Bowl instead. Or, give this recipe a fun breakfast twist by using one of our breakfast scramble bowls! It’s a great way to sneak in extra veggies before you even start the day.

We used a variety of colors for the peppers, but you could go with any color you like! The green peppers have a bit more zest to them, while the red and yellow peppers have a bit more sweetness. We love a combination of all three – the colors are just so pretty together!

The easiest way to prepare the peppers is to slice the top off and then use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. If you like your peppers extra soft, you can always parboil them before filling them and placing them in the oven. We prefer then to be a little bit more firm, so we don’t do this step. We find they serve up slightly better when they are cooked like this.

These peppers are not only great for a weeknight dinner but also hold up very nicely for your weekly meal prep. So, next time you are at the store, grab a couple of extra boxes, and make some extra to enjoy at work or school!
