Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp. tomato paste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb. ground beef
- kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 c. tomato sauce
- ⅓ c. ketchup
- 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar
- 4 bell peppers, cut lengthwise
- 1 c. Shredded Monterey Jack
- ⅓ c. low-sodium beef broth
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Cook onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute more. Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Let simmer until slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
- To a large baking dish, add peppers. Divide the mixture evenly into 8 pepper halves and top with cheese. Pour beef broth into baking dish (to help peppers steam) and cover with foil.
- Bake until peppers are tender, about 45 minutes. Uncover and broil until cheese is golden, 2 minutes.
- Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.
