Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 Large red pepper per person
  • 1 Medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 Medium courgette finely chopped
  • 1 Clove garlic - crushed
  • 250 g Minced beef (9 ounces - this will fill 2 large peppers)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200℃ or Gas 6.

  • Fry the chopped onion until brown. It takes about five minutes, then add the crushed garlic and courgette and fry together for a further five minutes. Remove from the pan.
  • Fry the beef until cooked 8-10 minutes. Then, add the onion and courgette back to the pan and mix together.
  • Then add a tin of tomatoes, stock cube, herbs, tomato purée, salt & pepper, chillies if using. Mix together well.
  • Then spoon the mixture into the peppers pressing down as you go. Sprinkle cheese on top.

  • Once cooked serve with a crunchy salad and crusty bread to mop up the juices.
