I just love snacking on these colorful mini bell peppers and recently I may have went overboard on buying them when they were on sale.  I was using them in salads, chopping up some for omelets, and whatever I could to use them.  We were wanting some nachos the other evening but no chips in the house (part of our ‘ban the junk food’ plan) and so I said I’ll just make them with the mini peppers.  My husband was a bit iffy on this plan.  “A vegetable is not a chip” was his response.  Ha!

The part of this recipe I love the most is that I could make them Paleo and also with cheese to keep it low-carb and more like the nachos.  Another thing is that you can add whatever toppings you like to the mini peppers.  I don’t care for jalapenos, but the rest of my family loves them.  Diced tomatoes are my favorite for these mini bell pepper nachos so I loaded mine up with them.  

I’ve teamed up with some #FestiveFoodies to bring you some delicious #FootballFood recipes.  With the Super Bowl coming up, these Mini Bell Pepper Nachos would be a great addition to your game day menu as would any of the recipes we’re sharing today.  Check them all out below the recipe card.

Tips to make this Recipe:

I use parchment paper on the baking tray so that clean-up is a breeze. If you prefer, you can lightly spray the baking sheet with non-stick spray.

Use a lean ground beef (at least 93% lean) and drain any grease off before stuffing the peppers.  You can also use ground turkey or ground chicken.

If you prefer to use a packaged taco seasoning mix, do so.  I like to use the spices or my homemade taco seasoning so I can control the heat and the salt.  

I love using this homemade salsa.

Use more cheese if you prefer, and any kind of cheese you like.

Nachos made healthier with mini bell peppers are a great idea for snacking.
