Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In an ungreased large casserole dish place pepper halves in the oven and cook until softened (~20 minutes).
- Over high heat, heat a large frying pan with olive oil drizzled in the bottom.
- Once hot add onions and garlic and cook until browned.
- Once browned add: meat, salsa, beans, corn, jalapenos, green chilis, and enchilada seasoning.
- Once meat is fully cooked (~8-10 minutes) add in four ounces of cheese and combine.
- Once peppers are done, fill them with meat mixture. There is a lot of mixture so if they overflow in the casserole dish that is fine.
- Top with remaining cheese and cook for 15 minutes or until cheese is melty and slightly browned.
