Qeema bhari shimla mirch قیمہ بھری شملامرچ recipe by morEwish

 

Stuffed peppers with ground beef - Qeema bhari shimla mirchin, are such a classic makes the best easy dinner idea any night of the week.

When I was a kid, eating a whole bell pepper even if it was stuffed with ground beef was not my idea of dinner. Now, it’s my favorite part! Ovais was asking me to make these for a while and ironically girls loved it too.

These stuffed peppers can be made with any bell pepper. Red, yellow, and orange peppers are sweeter, because they're riper, while green peppers have a fresh bitterness that can make a welcome contrast to the meat filling. Pick your favorite or mix them up, I used green ones only.

Look for medium to large bell peppers that will hold a decent amount of stuffing. Choose peppers that are more round than long and will stand up on their own and not teeter over once you've stuffed them. Just to be on the safe side trim the bottom of the pepper, give the peppers a flat surface to stand on.
Cut the tops off of the peppers to stuff the whole thing with beefy goodness. If you prefer smaller portions, cut the peppers in half and serve open faced.
