My mommy always hooked up a mean stuffed pepper filled with tons of beef, white rice and spices.
If you’re watching your carb intake like I am, then here’s a similar tasting recipe that you’ll find just as good. Your man won’t even notice it’s the healthier version.
Ingredients:
- Sweet peppers
- 1lb ground beef
- 1 cup brown rice
- 1 cup mushrooms
- 2 large tomatoes
- Low sodium chicken broth
- 1 table spoon minced garlic
- 1 table spoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion
- Salt n Peppa
Preparation:
- Heat the oven. Start the oven and set it on 350 degrees and get it ready for your concoction.
- Prep the peppers. Cut the tops of your peppers and clean them out. Set them aside so they can be ready to be stuffed.
- Prep the rice: In a pot, pour your can of chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Dump your cup of rice and cook it half way, not all the way because you’ll re cook it in the oven again. Put aside.
- Prep the meat mixture: drizzle your olive oil in the wok or frying pan and saute your garlic and onions. Sprinkle in your Salt n Peppa and stir. When you see the onions and garlic turning brown, dump your chopped mushrooms and tomatoes in and cook a little more. When the tomatoes get a little cooked, top it with your ground beef and stir. Brown the meat a little because once again, we’re going to re cook it in the oven.Mix the half cooked rice on top of the beef mixture and blend it well.
- Stuff the peppers. Scoop your meat mixture and fill your peppers full! Organize them in a baking pan and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake the peppers. Cook the peppers for 45-60 minutes until peppers are soft and juicy.
- Use your oven mitts and pull out the baking pan since it’s going to be very hot and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
- The stuffed peppers should be a meal on their own but feel free to serve them with a crisp green salad.
Cooking is so much fun! Enjoy it and watch your lover fall in love with you all over again. Send me a thank you note after you make this.
