Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pepper halves and blanch for 3 minutes, until just slightly softened but still holding their shape. Transfer cut-side down to a paper-towel-lined surface to drain.

Heat the garlic-infused olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 6–8 minutes until browned throughout with no pink remaining and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
