Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 6 medium bell peppers
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef 85/15 (750g)
  • 1 cup cooked rice 150 g
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce 55 g
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon oregano
  • Parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cut the tops off the peppers. Take the seeds and membranes out. Poke a few holes in the bottoms of the peppers with a fork to allow built up water to escape.
  • In a bowl, combine the ground beef with the remaining ingredients. Mix well to fully combine.
  • Stuff the mixture evenly into each pepper.
  • Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of your Instant Pot and insert the trivet. Place the peppers upright on the trivet. Lock the lid and set the vent to sealing.
  • Set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook for 10 minutes. Manually release the pressure.
  • Test the internal temperature of the peppers to make sure it reached 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Serve with fresh parsley or basil for garnish.

Notes

  • Poking a few holes in the bottom of the peppers allows the liquid that builds up inside to drain out.
