Fiesta Stuffed Bell Peppers: A Flavor-Packed, Family-Friendly Dinner

Stuffed peppers are a classic comfort dish, but when you want something bold, vibrant, and full of Tex-Mex flavor, these Fiesta Stuffed Bell Peppers steal the show every time. Loaded with seasoned ground beef (or turkey), melty cheese, black beans, and corn, this recipe brings color and hearty satisfaction to any dinner table.

The star of this dish is my Fiesta Glory Taco Seasoning—a salt-free blend that lets you control the sodium while delivering deep, delicious taco flavor. It gives the meat mixture a warm, savory profile without overwhelming it, making every bite just right.

Whether you’re serving guests, feeding the family, or prepping meals for the week, these stuffed peppers are easy to make, customizable, and always a hit.

🌶️ Fiesta Stuffed Bell Peppers

Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers

  • 1.5 lbs. ground beef or ground turkey

  • 2 tbsp. Fiesta Glory Taco Seasoning (salt-free)

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 can black beans, drained

  • 1 can corn, drained

  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Colby jack)

🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prep your peppers
    Preheat your oven to 350°F.
    Using a sharp knife, cut the tops off the bell peppers and chop the tops—set them aside.
    Remove seeds and membranes from the peppers and place them upright in a buttered baking dish.

  2. Cook the filling
    In a skillet, combine the chopped pepper tops and your ground beef or turkey.
    Cook over medium-high heat until browned, then drain the fat.

  3. Season it right
    Add Fiesta Glory Taco Seasoning and the salt to the meat mixture.
    Drain and stir in the corn and black beans.

  4. Layer the peppers
    Spoon a layer of the seasoned meat mixture into each pepper.
    Add a layer of shredded cheese.
    Repeat the layers until the peppers are full.
    Finish with cheese on top.

  5. Bake until melty and tender
    Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
    Remove the foil and bake an additional 12–15 minutes, until the cheese is golden and the peppers are soft.

Optional: Serve with Spanish rice—or take it a step further by adding cooked rice inside the peppers, either layered or mixed directly into the meat mixture.
