Serves 4
(In my video I doubled the recipe for my crew)
Ingredients
* 4 large bell peppers — any color
* 1 lb lean grass fed lean ground beef or ground turkey
* 1 cup cooked wild rice
* 1 small onion, diced
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1½ cups marinara sauce
* 1 tsp Italian seasoning
* ½ tsp paprika
* Salt & pepper, to taste
* 1 cup shredded mozzarella
* ¼ cup grated Parmesan
* Fresh parsley or basil, for topping
* Optional sauted spinach
Instructions
1. Prep the peppers: Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds. Place them upright in a baking dish.
2. Cook the filling: Brown the ground beef or turkey with the onion and garlic. Drain any excess grease.
3. Combine: Stir in cooked rice, 1 cup marinara, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt and pepper.
4. Stuff: Spoon the mixture into each pepper. Optional Top with the remaining marinara, sauted spinach.
5. Bake: Cover loosely with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove the foil and top with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese bake another 10–15 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the cheese is golden. ( I add a little water to the bottom of the pan so the peppers cook nicely)
6. Finish: Serve with your favorite sides. I served this with my garlic green beans and roasted herbed potatoes.
Enjoy 🍃
