Prepare the bell peppers by cutting off the tops and removing the seeds. Fill the bell peppers with the ground beef mixture and then place in the air fryer. You will most likely have to cook these in two batches.

Notes

This recipe uses ground beef, but you could easily make these with chicken, turkey, or bison. You can even make them vegetarian by using plant-based 'meat' crumbles.
Feel free to change up the cheese and use whatever you have on hand, or a combination of your favorite cheeses.
