- 1/2 cup reserved pepper water (from boiling peppers)
- 2 pounds 93% lean, 7% fat ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound crab meat (lump or claw)
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

- 2 cups chicken stock
Method
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of Knorr chicken bouillon. Carefully add the whole bell peppers and boil for 8 minutes. Remove the peppers and set aside. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pepper water for later use.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat, if necessary.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the shrimp and crab meat, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
Step 5
Add parsley, salt, pepper, and your preferred spices to taste. Pour in the bread crumbs, chicken stock, and reserved pepper water. Mix until well combined.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Step 7
Place the boiled peppers in a baking dish and fill each one generously with the beef and seafood mixture. Sprinkle extra bread crumbs on top for added texture.
Step 8
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.
Step 9
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve.
