Bell Pepper Nachos - easy and healthy dinner or appetizer!

These Bell Pepper Nachos are packed with flavor and perfect as a meal or an appetizer. Colorful mini bell peppers stuffed with seasoned lean ground beef and black beans, topped with cheese and your favorite nachos topping. I’m excited to serve these as a healthier option at our Super Bowl party this year!
