Ingredients
- 12 ounces ground pork (96% lean)
- 1/2 cup water
- 6 tablespoons couscous
- 4 bell peppers (large, red, orange, or yellow, or a combination)
- 3/4 cup salsa (plus more for serving, optional)
- 1 cup frozen corn (thawed)
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- salt
- black pepper
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese (Monterey jack, or Mexican blend cheese, shredded)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring water to a boil. Stir in couscous, cover, remove from heat, and set aside for at least 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook pork, stirring occasionally and breaking it up, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.
- Also while couscous is softening, remove tops from peppers and scrape out seeds. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine couscous, pork, salsa, corn, and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Fill peppers with pork mixture. Arrange peppers in a shallow baking pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle cheese on top and continue baking until peppers are tender and stuffing is heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Serve peppers with additional salsa on the side if you like.
