Ingredients
Scale
4 large bell peppers
1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped celery
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
In a bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion, relish, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Spoon the tuna mixture evenly into the bell peppers.
Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking, if desired.
Notes
For a creamier filling, you can add a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Feel free to add other seasonings like paprika or garlic powder to the tuna mixture.
If you prefer, you can use fresh tuna instead of canned.
