Cheeseburger Stuffed Peppers

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Slice each pepper in half from root to tip. Remove the seeds and membranes from the peppers. Place in a 9x13 baking dish.

Step 3

Add the beef to a medium skillet over medium heat and brown, crumbling the beef as it cooks.

Step 4

Once beef is cooked through, add the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoned salt. Stir well to combine. Remove from the heat.

Step 5

Add the cheese to the beef and stir to combine.

Step 6

Spoon the beef mixture into the pepper halves. Pour ⅓ cup of water into the bottom of the pan to steam the peppers as they cook.

Step 7

Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes or until peppers are as tender as you’d like.

Step 8

While peppers are baking, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, garlic salt, and chili powder until combined.

Step 9

When peppers have finished baking, sprinkle the tops with cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. Drizzle lightly with the sauce.

Step 10

Serve hot.
