It looks best with the red pods, but this snack is also colorful:
Wash the pods. Cut off a small lid with a stem, but otherwise leave it whole. Carefully cut off the seeds and white skins with a thin knife.
Finely dice the onions.
For the filling, mix the ground beef with finely diced onions and add breadcrumbs.
Then season everything with pepper, salt and paprika powder.
Fill the lower half of the chili peppers with (herb) cream cheese, put the minced meat in the upper half of the pods.
Lightly grease a baking dish and place the filled chili peppers in it. Sprinkle with finely grated Gouda or Emmentaler cheese. Baked at 200 ° for 30-45 minutes.
The chillies lose a large part of their heat while being gratinated.
As an antipasti with a baguette or as part of a buffet - cold or warm - they are not to be despised.
