Ingredients

2 large bell peppers any color you’d like
1 pound ground beef
1 onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
¾ cup ketchup
1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoons brown sugar
3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Chopped parsley for topping is optional

Instructions

Cut the bell peppers in half from top to bottom, remove the stem, seeds and any inside bits. Set aside.
In a large skillet add the ground beef and cook on a medium to high heat until everything is cooked and browned.
Add the onions and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes on medium to low heat.
Add the ketchup, Dijon mustard, chili powder, paprika, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce and stir until everything is combined.
Add 1/2 cup of water and stir once again. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until everything has thickened up.
Evenly add the sloppy Joe mixture into the peppers using a spoon.
Add to the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes at 350°.
Check on it half way through to make sure the meat isn’t burning.
Once done add sprinkles of the cheese on top of the meat and cook again just until the cheese is melted.
Enjoy!

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days
You can get by using 3 peppers, just evenly fill the peppers with the meat mixture.
Using frozen diced onions saves you an extra step.
You can add a little bit of hot sauce for some spice.
Serving a side of white rice with this would be great.
