Ingredients You Will Need
Main Ingredients
- 6 large bell peppers (preferably red or yellow)
- 1 cup of cooked rice
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 1 cup of corn (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup of black beans (cooked or canned)
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Brazilian Stuffed Peppers
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off of the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set them aside in a baking dish.
In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and cook until softened. Then, add in the ground beef and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the beef is fully cooked, add in the diced tomatoes, corn, and black beans. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Next, add in the cooked rice and mix it in with the beef and vegetable mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a splash of water or chicken broth to moisten it.
Stuff the bell peppers with the beef and rice mixture, filling them all the way to the top. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each pepper.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving and Variation Ideas
Once the peppers are done, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. You can also top them with diced jalapenos, avocado, or cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
For a vegetarian option, you can substitute the ground beef with tofu or quinoa. You can also use different types of beans and vegetables to create a unique and personalized twist on this traditional Brazilian dish.
