Quick Weeknight Beef-Stuffed Peppers
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and crumbly. Drain the excess grease, then stir in the garlic, onion, and tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until the onions soften slightly, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cheese, then set the mixture aside.

  3. 3

    Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the veins and seeds. Fill each pepper with the ground beef mixture and pour in some of the chicken broth. Set them into the cups of a muffin tin and replace the tops.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
