It makes for a great dinner for two, or is great the next day for lunch If you're not using an air fryer, all of my recipes can also be made on a sheet pan in the oven, by adding 50 degrees to the cooking temperature.

Calories 210 kcal

Air Fryer, or Oven (Add 50 Degrees)
Large mixing bowl

1 lb lean ground beef the same beef mixture will be used in the previous recipe
1 egg
1 cup panko
1 cup whole milk
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
3 green, yellow, or red peppers
2 tbsp parmesan cheese, divided
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, divided

Preheat air fryer or oven to 350.
Cut the top off of 2 – 3 large bell peppers, and stuff with the meatloaf beef mixture.
Add to the air fryer, and cook for 25 – 30 minutes (this can be done at the same time you're cooking the meatloaf).
I cut my stuffed peppers in half, but this step is not necessary.
Remove and add parmesan and mozzarella cheese, and cook for an additional 5 minutes for cheese to melt and turn golden brown.

All air fryers cook at different speeds. These recipes are meant to be a general guide. Cooking times depend on various factors including thickness, cut, and type of meat used. I use an Instant Pot Vortex Plus shelf air fryer. If you're using something different, especially a bucket type air fryer, I advise keeping an eye on food so it doesn't under, or overcook.
