Ingredients

2 medium green peppers
1/2 pound ground beef or lean ground turkey
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
3 tablespoons taco seasoning
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped tomato

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Cut peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds. In a large pot, cook peppers in boiling water until crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water; set aside.
In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, breaking beef into crumbles; drain. Stir in the beans, tomato sauce and taco seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until heated through, 5-6 minutes. Spoon into peppers.
Arrange pepper halves in an ungreased 8-in. square baking dish. Bake, uncovered, until peppers are tender, 10-12 minutes. Top with sour cream, cheese and tomatoes.
