Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Prepare the Peppers:

Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
Lightly brush the insides with olive oil and arrange them in the baking dish.
3. Cook the Filling:

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onions and mushrooms, sautéing for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it browns. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook until the beef is no longer pink.
Stir in the cooked bacon and BBQ sauce, mixing well. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined.
4. Stuff the Peppers:

Spoon the BBQ beef mixture evenly into each bell pepper.
5. Bake the Peppers:

Cover with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
6. Add the Final Touches:

Remove the foil, sprinkle the tops with shredded mozzarella cheese, and bake uncovered for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve & Enjoy:

Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions, and serve hot with a side of coleslaw, roasted potatoes, or a crisp salad.
Tips for Success:
Use Different Meats: Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
Make It Spicier: Add diced jalapeños to the filling or drizzle with hot sauce for extra heat.
Meal Prep Friendly: These stuffed peppers can be made ahead and reheated for quick lunches or dinners.
