Ingredients

  • 6 orange bell peppers
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp mayo
  • 1 cup orzo
  • 1 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp smash burger seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups mild cheddar - freshly shredded

Instructions

  • Start by cutting the tops off of the peppers (save these!) Then remove all of the seeds and membrane. Set these to the side.
  • In a skillet, cook your ground meat, onions, and garlic until the onions are soft and the meat is fully cooked.
  • Add in your tomato paste, ketchup, mustard, worchestchire, mayo, and seasonings. Let it cook for another 3-5 minutes.
  • Add in your orzo and beef broth. Cover and let it cook until the orzo is done. About 7 minutes, stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Top with 1 cup of your cheese and let it melt in.
  • Place your peppers in a lipped casserole dish with 1 inch of water. Fill your peppers with the mixture evenly. Top with a little more cheese and transfer to the oven for 20-30 minutes until your peppers are soft.
