📝 Preparation Steps

Slice off the tops of the peppers. Remove the seeds and membranes; discard. Dice up the tops of the peppers; set aside.

Prep
4
If necessary, slice a little bit off the bottom of each pepper to create a flattened base so they can sit upright without falling over (being careful not to slice into the pepper itself or the stuffing will leak out). Transfer peppers to the prepared baking dish, making sure they're somewhat snug, but not completely crowded.

Saute

In a large ovenproof saute pan (with a lid), cook beef, onion, and reserved diced bell peppers over medium-high, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, until browned and no pink remains, about ⏱️ 3-5 minutes. Drain off grease and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
