INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with foil (we love
REYNOLDS!) and set aside.
2. In a medium skillet, heat ground beef over medium high
heat, crumbling as you cook. If there is extra oil after your
beef is fully cooked, drain and return to the heat.
3. Stir in the taco seasoning and stir until well coated. Toss in
the onions and allow to cook with the beef.
4. When beef is almost cooked through and onions begin to
become transluescent, stir in the green chiles and
enchilada sauce. Turn off heat. Set aside.
5. Cut the top off each pepper and hollow out the inside;
removing ribs and seeds. Place each pepper on the baking
sheet.
6. To stuff each pepper, start with several spoonfuls beef,
then half cup cheese, then fill nearly to the top with beef.
Top with another 1/2 cup cheese (depending on size of the
pepper, 1/4 cup cheese would be enough. Whatever covers
the top to your liking), and place the top back on the
pepper. Repeat with remaining peppers.
7. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until peppers are tender and
cheese is melty.
8. Serve immediately with sour cream and cilantro if desired.
9. Enjoy!
