This air fryer stuffed peppers recipe features bell peppers filled with a rice and ground beef filling and topped with melted mozzarella cheese that cooks in less than 20 minutes.
Cut off the tops from peppers, clean the insides, and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil and saute onions and garlic until translucent. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Add the cooked rice, spices, and tomatoes, and cook until the mixture starts boiling.
Scoop the mixture into the peppers, filling them just to the top.
Place the filled peppers in the air fryer basket and air fry for 15 minutes. Add the shredded cheese and air fry for another two minutes, until the cheese is melted.
