Recipe Instructions

  • Season the ground beef to your liking.
  • Wash the peppers and cut off the tops. Take out the seeds inside. Leave them aside while we prepare the meat.
  • Wash the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, the smaller the potatoes, the faster they cook.
  • In the pan, add a little olive oil and heat over medium heat.
  • When it is hot, add 3 tablespoons of sofrito and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Add the tomato sauce, the sachet of seasoning, and the tablespoon of powdered chicken or beef broth and sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • This is the sauce in which we will cook the ground meat
  • Add the beef and make sure to mix well with the sauce.
  • Add the potatoes and mix well.
  • Cook over medium heat, covered, for about 15-20 minutes or until the ground beef is a dark brown color.
  • When the meat is almost ready, preheat the oven to 350oF.
  • Stuff the peppers with the ground beef.
  • Put grated cheese on top.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes. Adjust the cooking time according to your taste. If you like your peppers firmer, bake for 30 minutes. If you want it softer, let it bake for another 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Now, put the oven on broil and leave the peppers for 1-2 minutes. Make sure the cheese doesn’t burn.
  • Remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes. Ready, serve your peppers with white rice or accompany them with some good tostones.
  • Enjoy!
