Cheeseburger Stuffed Bell Peppers (with a BBQ Twist)

Cheeseburger Stuffed Bell Peppers (with a BBQ Twist)

Some weeks, the GF and I know we’re going to be running hard—long days, late dinners, and not a lot of creative energy left in the tank for fancy dinners. That’s when we batch these cheeseburger stuffed bell peppers. They reheat like a dream, they’re loaded with flavor, and best of all, they make it look like we really have our act together.

Plus, they’ve become a favorite in our house for one simple reason: they taste like a bacon cheeseburger wrapped in a sweet, roasted pepper shell. Weeknight meal prep, solved! What’s not to love?

Why This Spice Blend Works

Our Burger Blend was built for more than just patties—it’s a flavor bomb in disguise. The dehydrated bell peppers and paprika oleoresin give it a sweet-smoky backbone, while three types of garlic (minced, granulated, roasted) add layers of savory punch. The sea salt and black pepper tie it all together, and a hint of sugar balances out the beef and melted cheese.

It’s clean, bold, and built to bring out the best in beef. And in this case, it gives these stuffed peppers that unmistakable "backyard burger" magic.

Ingredients

  • Ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • Kunert Cattle Company Burger Blend
  • Onion (finely chopped)
  • Garlic (optional extra, minced)
  • Diced bacon
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Tomato paste or ketchup
  • Cooked white or brown rice
  • Shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese
  • Large bell peppers (halved and hollowed)
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Halve and core the bell peppers, drizzle with olive oil, and place in a baking dish.
  • In a cast iron skillet, brown the ground beef with chopped onion and diced bacon until nearly cooked through.
  • Stir in tomato paste, a splash of Worcestershire, and a generous shake of Burger Blend. Let it simmer until the mixture thickens slightly.
  • Mix in cooked rice and a handful of shredded cheese, then spoon the filling into the pepper halves.
  • Top with more cheese and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let cool slightly before serving—or portion into containers for easy meals all week.
