Ingredients

  • 2 medium green peppers
  • 1/2 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and grated
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Dash coarsely ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Cut tops off peppers and remove seeds. In a large saucepan, cook peppers in boiling water for 4-5 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water; invert on paper towels.
  2. In a nonstick skillet, cook beef and potato over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the chili powder, salt and pepper. Spoon into peppers.
