Instructions
Cut the upper part of the bell pepper and remove the seeds. Then take the bell pepper to the microwave for 7 minutes.
You can also put it in a pan with some water. Cover and let cook for 5-7 minutes over medium heat.
In the meantime, chop the garlic and tomato.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, pour the oil and spread.
Add the garlic and tomato with a pinch of salt. Stir-fry over medium heat for 5 minutes while stirring from time to time.
Once soft, add the ground beef.
Cook for 8 minutes until browned. Add salt and pepper.
Fill the bell pepper with the mixture and cover with cheese. You can use mozzarella, white or fresh cheese.
Oven/Air Fryer option: Bake for 7 minutes or cook in the air fryer for 5 minutes over 356 °F (180 °C) until the cheese melts.
Without oven/air fryer: Place the cheese on top and wait some minutes until melted.
Remove, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve. If you have more filling, serve.
