Taco-Filled Peppers

Original Recipe: http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Taco-Filled-Peppers

1LB Ground Beef/Turkey
1 Packet Taco Seasoning
1 Can Kidney Beans, Rinsed and Drained
1 C Salsa
4 Green Peppers
Chopped Tomato, Cheddar, and Sour Cream, Optional

In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the taco seasoning, kidney beans and salsa. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Cut peppers in half lengthwise; remove stems and discard seeds. In a large kettle, cook peppers in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.

Spoon about 1/2 cup meat mixture into each pepper half. Place in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until the peppers are crisp-tender and filling is heated through.

Top each with tomato, cheese, and sour cream.
