Instructions
- Preheat a large pot to medium high heat and add the olive oil. Next, add the garlic with onion and green pepper. Saute the vegetables for about five minutes or until softened. Add in the ground beef and cook until no longer pink; about five minutes. Next, add in the spices, tomatoes, beans, chicken stock, and bring to a boil and then a simmer. Let the chili simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
- While the chili cooks, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9 X 13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Cut the tops off of the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes inside. Place the peppers in the baking dish.
- Fill the peppers with the chili, all the way to the top. Sprinkle the cheese on top of each bell pepper. Next, place the baking dish in the oven and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and peppers have softened. Allow the peppers to cool before serving!
