9 capsicums (yellow preferred)
2 medium onions
½ tsp Garlic powder
750 g minced steak (ground beef)
Oil to cook mince
1 cup water
2 sachets Chilli Con Carne mix
5 Tbs tomato paste
1 can Red Kidney Beans
1 can corn kernels
Extra water
Mozzarella Cheese (I used shredded)
Parmesan Cheese (I used fresh & grated it)
Cut the tops out of the capsicums
Shake out all the seeds
Scrape out the pith with a teaspoon
Place in a baking dish
Trim the inside of the stalk portions back & remove all seeds
Dice the onions
Drain & rinse the can of Red Kidney Beans
Drain can of corn kernels
Add oil to a deep frypan
Add mince & fry until browned
Add onions, stir in & cook until tender
Add garlic powder
Run 1 cup of water into a measuring jug
Add 2 sachets of Chilli Con Carne mix & stir well
Add to meat mixture in frypan & stir well
Turn down the heat
Add 5 Tbs tomato paste & stir well
Add Red Kidney Beans & Corn Kernels & mix well
Add more water if necessary to form a pasty mixture
Spoon mixture into capsicums until each is a bit under ½ full
Add Mozzarella cheese to each
Add more meat mixture until just below the top & pack down with a spoon
Add more Mozzarella cheese
Place the lids (stalk portions) of the capsicums loosely on top
Half fill the baking dish with water
Cover with foil
Place in a pre-heated 190 C (fan forced) oven for 45 minutes
Take out of the oven & remove the foil & remove the lids from the capsicums (nibble on these)
Grate Parmesan cheese on top & return to the oven for another 30 minutes
Check doneness of the capsicums during the last 15 minutes
Serve, adding more Mozzarella & Parmesan cheese as desired
