1 pound ground beef, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
While the meat is cooking, prepare the bell peppers by slicing the top off of each and removing the seeds and ribs from the insides.
6 bell peppers
Divide the beef mixture evenly between the prepared peppers.
Top the beef with the prepared Spanish rice.
2 cups prepared Spanish rice
Sprinkle a generous amount of cheese on top of each pepper.
1 cup Colby jack cheese
Broil the stuffed peppers on high until everything is heated through and the cheese is bubbly. Serve and enjoy!

The peppers in this recipe do retain a bit of fresh crispness when finished. If you prefer peppers that are a bit softer, then steam or microwave them for a few minutes before stuffing and broiling.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or air fryer until warmed through.
