How to Make Mini Stuffed Peppers

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the tops off the mini bell peppers and carefully remove the seeds and membranes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, ground beef, diced onion, chopped bell pepper, tomato sauce, and spices. Mix well.
  4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared mini bell peppers, filling them almost to the top.
  5. Arrange the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and pour in about ½ cup of water or broth around the peppers. This prevents them from drying out while cooking.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through. If using the microwave, arrange peppers in a microwave-safe dish, add a few tablespoons of water, cover with plastic wrap, and heat on high for 4-5 minutes per 9 peppers, checking and rotating as needed.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or cheese, if desired.
