Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients, such as fresh bell peppers, ground beef, and common pantry staples like olive oil and aromatics, in the produce and meat sections of your local neighborhood grocery store or supermarket.
Preparation method
- Wash the bell peppers well, cut off the top part to form a lid, and carefully remove all internal seeds
- In a pot, heat the oil and sauté the onion and garlic until they are lightly golden
- Add the ground beef to the pot and stir constantly so that it remains loose during cooking
- Cook until the liquid from the meat and onion has evaporated almost completely, keeping the meat moist and seasoned
- Remove the meat from the heat, mix in the olives, parsley and chives, salt, and black pepper, and finish by incorporating the chopped hard-boiled eggs
- Generously stuff each bell pepper with the ground beef mixture and place them in a baking dish previously greased with oil
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes so the peppers cook in the steam
- Remove the aluminum foil carefully and bake for another 5 minutes to finish the cooking and lightly brown the tops
