Ingredients
3 large bell peppers (any color)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 lb lean ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup precooked or parboiled rice
1 jalapeƱo, diced
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped + more to garnish
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Sour cream
Fresh chopped cilantro
Hot sauce
Directions
- Slice bell peppers into one-inch thick rings and set aside.
- Heat your gas barbeque to 375ĖF and place a cast iron skillet on grill.
- In a large bowl, make your patties by combining ground beef, taco seasoning, rice, cilantro, jalapeƱo and Worcestershire sauce. Using a 2 oz scoop, form into balls and set aside.
- Pour olive oil in hot skillet. Add sliced onions and cook gently until caramelize. Use water if needed to prevent burning. Remove from pan.
- In the same pan, place your bell pepper slices on skillet and fill with the meatballs. Using a meat press, press the patty down until flush with the bell peppers. Cook until golden brown for 5-7 minutes, flip and repeat.
- Once ready, place cheese over top and close the gas grill to cook the patties internally for 3-5 minutes. Once the cheese has melted and the patties are cooked, remove from the grill.
- Place on a serving tray and garnish with your favorite toppings like sour cream, cilantro and hot sauce.
