Ingredients

  • 2 bell peppers large
  • 1 1/2 cups leftover chili
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese for topping, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • If you have leftover chili, this is the perfect recipe to use it for! If not, you’ll want to start by making your favorite chili recipe.
  • Cut the bell peppers in half (long ways) and remove the seeds and insides.
  • Brush the outside of the peppers with cooking oil and sprinkle a little salt and pepper on the inside and place cut side up in a 9x13-inch casserole pan or large baking pan with aluminum foil.
  • Fill the peppers with the chili, being careful not to overfill the peppers.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and place them into your oven on 375 F to roast for 25 - 30 minutes, or until the chili is hot and the peppers are tender and soft.
  • If you're using cheese, remove the chili stuffed peppers from the oven the last 5 minutes and sprinkle the cheese on top. Place them back into the oven and bake them uncovered for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  • Remove the peppers from the oven and let them rest for 10 - 15 minutes before serving.
